Concise Syllabus


Fibre reinforced polymeric composites are gradually replacing traditional metal alloys in making primary load carrying structures due to their superior structural and functional properties. However, failure behaviour of composites under mechanical loading are far more complex than metals. This course would start by highlighting the importance of carrying out failure analysis in composite structures. It would then discuss the different failure mechanisms experimentally observed, and subsequently introduce several physically based advanced failure theories developed for composites. It would also cover computational implementation of the failure models as user defined subroutines in a commercial finite element programme.
