- non-destructive testing and evaluation NDTE
- experimental and computational fracture mechanics
For polymers and polymer matrix composites
|
| Subject |
- Failure and fracture models for various polymers and discontinuous and continuous fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites
- Experimental and computational fracture mechanics
- Defect characterization by non-destructive testing and evaluation
- Modelling and simulation of progressive failure and crack growth in polymers and composites
|
| Criteria for evaluation |
Written exam
Evaluation of the home work. The home work involves a short theoretical description of the selected topics and practical work.
This practical work involves some experiments and simulations using a selected material/component geometry/loading/defect configuration.
|
| Methods |
The Basics of the Structural Integrity Assessment Methods are explained in blocked lectures
An individual home work is defined for all participants considering their actual specific knowledges and expertise in simulation techniques – from basic to advanced.
The focus of the course is changing, it depends on actual projects and on actual scientific discussion in the SIA community
