Course content
This course is dedicated to the basics of composite material structures : unidirectional composites, orthotropic lamina, coordinates transform, failure criteria (Tsai-Hill), laminated composites plates, stacking sequence and coupling, determination of stress and strains in laminates, thermal stresses.
Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)
Provide an understanding of the conception and analysis techniques of composite material structures.
