Composite Structures (250703) – Course 2025/26 PDF
Syllabus
Learning Objectives
Subject to know the behavior and calculation of structures made of composite materials Capability to design and calculate structures made of composite materials. Ability to interpret results from finite element programs appropriate for non - linear analysis of composite structures Introduction, definition and use of some composite materials. Anisotropy of the material. Theory of Mixtures : Slide fiber matrix ( DFM ) . Delamination of laminated composite . Homogenization theory . Reinforced composites inelastic buckling. Fuselage and wing structures tickets compounds and mixed materials (aluminum - composite) . Repair and reinforcement of structures with composite materials The aim of this course is to get students to acquire extensive information about the behavior and calculation of structures built in composite materials. It is also expected that these studies will allow interpreting results from appropriate programs for non-linear analysis of composite structures finite elements. The study of this subject is discussed under the assumption that the structures can achieve cinematic nonlinear constitutive behavior and / or. To numerically analyze the behavior of structures, two basic theories will be studied: 1) blends theory and its various evolutions and 2) the theory of homogenization and its various forms. Some nonlinear constitutive models will also be remembered for representing the behavior of each basic substance.

Teaching Methodology
This course takes place in 12 classes of three hours each. Each class will have about 1:30 hours devoted to theoretical dictates of the same i 0:30 discussions and consultations. Also, 11 hours were devoted to the development of work / problems implementing some topics of the course, and 8 hours of work evaluation. Support material is used in the form of detailed teaching plan using the virtual campus ATENEA: content, programming and evaluation activities directed learning and literature. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.
Grading Rules
The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
The course grade is obtained from continuous assessment grades and measurable practical work on each of the topics. The rating of the asignutura results from the average of the marks of the papers presented. Work will be done using tools like MathCad and/or Matlab and/or using Finite Element programs that provide students
Test Rules
If any or practical work continuous assessment in the scheduled period is performed it shall be considered as zero score.
