Initial design & Analysis of Structural Composites. Online
The Online Composites Course is as follows. This is an ONLINE Course and is appropriate for beginners, research students, practicing engineers and managers, who wish to do initial design of a composite laminate for simple structures such as Box or I-Beams made with glassfibre, carbonfibre and Kevlar.
The course Includes:
- Four video lectures that I have created from my 45 years experience in engineering composites.
- Course manual (pdf)
- CSAMs Composite Structural Analysis Modules-Software-1 year licence.
- Two CSAMs how to use & examples manuals.
- Two Videos on CSAMS examples on initial sizing of composite monolithic beams, #sandwich beams,box-beams, I-Beams, C-Channels, rotating shafts.
Video Lecture-1. Composites for all sectors.
Starts by showing the student many examples of various structural composite materials and their application in diverse industries.
Video Lecture-2. The Merits of Structural Composites.
Composites are light weight, strong, stiff, corrosion resistant with manufacturing benefits.
The properties and performance of composite materials can be structurally tailored.
Video Lecture-3. Layered Composites.
The most asked question is “where do I start in the design process of structural composites.” Learn the Initial design steps and the three important material properties you need to know
before you can start your new design in carbonfibre and glassfibre structural composites.
Video Lecture-4. An Engineers start
Learn about stacking sequence and ply orientation effects on the composite laminates
performance and weight.
Lecture video-5. Composites Design software.
Determine the cured ply thickness and laminate stiffness and strength properties for initial composite component sizing.
Lecture video-6. Using CSAMS
Calculate the structural composite properties using CSAMS software.
Composite Structural Analysis Modules: CSAMS.
Includes two user manuals and one year licence of CSAMS, Composite Design software.
Do practical designs starting with two composite simple beam design examples using;
Box beam and C-Channel beam.
With CSAMS explore various ply configurations and perform lightweighting calculations quickly using glassfibre, carbonfibre, Aramid in different formats, CSM, UD and woven.
