Seminars
"Design of fibre-reinforced plastics"
[6 CP | 4 SWS|summer semester / winter semester | module no.: 13048]
After successfully completing the module "Design of fibre-reinforced plastics", students will be able to evaluate and apply various modelling approaches for the structural simulation of components with anisotropic material characteristics. Building on the fundamentals of material modelling on the various scales, numerical methods, in particular the design using the finite element method, are taught in addition to the purely analytical description. Furthermore, students will be able to model fibre-reinforced plastic components with locally distributed direction-dependent thermomechanical material properties in such a way that technologically determined boundary conditions, such as fibre orientations of short fibre-reinforced injection moulded components and draping effects of continuous fibre-reinforced multilayer structures, are taken into account in the simulation.
Topics
- Design and evaluation of lightweight constructions with fibre-reinforced plastics
- Design and production of structured lightweight systems
- Mathematics, Hooke's material law, engineering constants
- Classical laminate theory
- Failure models
- Numerical modelling of components
- Basic methods and strategies for structural optimisation
