Composite Materials and Structures for B.Tech 6th sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Composite Materials and Structures B.Tech (R13) sixthsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
To make the student understand the analysis of composite laminates under different loading conditions and different environmental conditions.
UNIT I : MICROMECHANICS [10 hours]
Introduction – advantages and application of composite materials – types of reinforcements and matrices – micro mechanics – mechanics of materials approach, elasticity approach- bounding techniques – fiber volume ratio – mass fraction – density of composites. effect of voids in composites.
UNIT II : MACROMECHANICS [10 hours]
Generalized Hooke’s Law – elastic constants for anisotropic, orthotropic and isotropic materials – macro mechanics – stress-strain relations with respect to natural axis, arbitrary axis – determination of in plane strengths of a lamina – experimental characterization of lamina. failure theories of a lamina. hygrothermal effects on lamina.
UNIT III : LAMINATED PLATE THEORY [10 hours]
Governing differential equation for a laminate. stress – strain relations for a laminate. different types of laminates. in plane and flexural constants of a laminate. hygrothermal stresses and strains in a laminate. failure analysis of a laminate. impact resistance and interlaminar stresses. netting analysis
