Mechanics of Biocomposite Materials, Obtainment and Modeling of Their Structure and Properties

This course covers topics related to fiber reinforced composites. Individual design project required of each student, resulting in a usable computer software.

This Master Program in materials technology will provide you with a unique competence in important aspects of composites manufacturing and design technologies. The education is strongly connected to companies such as Swerea SICOMP and ABB Composites who have announced a need for composite experts.

Topics Include:

• Stress, strain, and strength of composite laminates and honeycomb structures;
• Failure modes and failure criteria;
• Environmental effects;
• Manufacturing processes;
• Design of composite structures.
