| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students will develop practical skills in lightweight design with composite materials, with a focus on strength analysis of laminated fiber-reinforced polymers. The students will apply their theoretical knowledge from the accompanying lecture "Lightweight Design with Composite Materials" by means of example calculations and analyze lightweight composite structures with appropriate methods and tools.
|

| Skills |
Knowledge |
Students are able to
- recall the basic behavior and properties of laminated composite materials (k1),
- apply analytical methods and computational tools for stiffness and strength calculations to practical examples of composite laminates (k3),
- understand and examine various failure criteria for composite structures (k4),
- analyze the macro-mechanical behavior of laminates including their deformations (k4),
- describe and analyze the effects of moisture absorption and thermal influences on laminated composites (k4),
- apply analytical methods to asses degradation behavior in laminated composites after first-ply-failure (k3).
|
- Interpretation and application of material property data for design purposes
- Assumptions, limitations and practical considerations of composite structure analysis
- Stiffness design, failure criteria and strength analysis concepts for laminated fiber-reinforced polymers
- Design process and performance of composite materials under environmental influences, e.g. temperature and humidity

| Further information |
Course 479POPELDCV12 and 479POPELDCU12 form an integral didactic unit. The learning outcomes described are achieved through the interaction of the two courses.
Attendance of the parallel lecture "Lightweight Design with Composite Materials" is recommended.
This exercise class introduces students to the practical lightweight design with composite materials, particularly to the strength analysis of laminated fiber-reinforced polymers. Example calculations of lightweight structures with methods presented in the course "Lightweight Design With Composite Materials" (KV).
