A comprehensive study of the principles of design and manufacture of advance composites to promote the understanding of the increased complexity of materials properties, and the behaviour and analysis methods for the design and manufacture of advanced composite structures.
Design and Manufacturing information and methods are presented in a series of lectures, including illustrations, and worked examples. Practical understanding of basic manufacturing processes is also supported by laboratory and class demonstrations.
On successful completion of the unit the student will be able to:
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
Summative assessment:
100% 3 hour timed assessment in May/June, 4 compulsory themed questions. This will assess:
Formative assessment:
ILO 1 and 2 will be assessed through example questions, problems and case-studies with solution checks and online feedback.
The unit notes are comprehensive and self-contained. Further background reading references are updated by Unit Lecturers each year.
