Lectures

Goal

Mastering advanced structural analysis methods applied to flying vehicles composite sturctures.

Outcome

In the end of completed course students should be able to: 1. master theoretical knowledge in stress strain analysis of composite structures used in aerospace. 2. apply presented methods in solving real problems related to composite aerospace structures and composite structures in general.

Theoretical teaching

Elastic behaviour of multidirectional laminates symmetric laminates, balanced laminates Quasi-isotropic laminates Temperature effectes on laminate stress strain, analysis methods Laminate Failure analysis Types of laminate failure Strength analaysis FPF theory experimantal methods in laminate characterization

Practical teaching

Stress strain analysis of complex composite structures using finite elements approach.

Attendance requirement
