The course offers the opportunity to gain practical experience in the characterization of fiber reinforced polymer and manufacturing/production methods for composite structures.
The material is presented by lectures and visits to the laboratory. This is mainly a project based - hands on course
The course focuses on the current investigations in the fields of fatigue and fracture of composite materials and composite structural components, like adhesively-bonded joints. Students would be able to develop design concepts for composite structures under realistic loading conditions
Sur la base d'un cahier des charges, concevoir de manière interdisciplinaire un projet de structure, principalement en pierre de taille, esthétique et fonctionnel (abri thermique), faisant usage de place de pique-nique sur le campus de l'EPFL.
