Composite Material Mechanics – New Topics

New sections have been prepared for the mechanics of composites. I believe there are no errors at the moment. However, I am submitting them for your review before including them in the lecture notes. If you detect any errors, even small ones, I kindly request that you let me know. There are no examples for these topics at the moment. They will be added to this page as they are prepared.

10. Bidirectional Woven Fabric Composites          pdf        pptx

Theoretical calculations of material properties and strength limits of these composites are explained. Calculations are facilitated with the definition of orthotropic matrix, which we have not encountered in the literature. (If you have come across this method in the sources before, please let me know.)

11.Sandwich Composites                                          pdf       pptx

Theoretical calculations of material properties and strength limits of sandwich composites are explained. The sandwich structure consisting of upper and lower support plates and middle core volume is reduced to a single orthotropic volume. (If you have come across this approach in the sources before, please let me know.)
