Anna University B.Tech ML (R13) 6th Sem Composite Materials Syllabus

Composite Materials 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 B.Tech (R13) sixthsem is as follows

OBJECTIVES:

Composites are a relatively new class of materials. In this course the students learn about the benefits gained when combining different materials into a composite. The Motive is to make the students to understand different processing methods, issues, properties and testing methods of different composite materials

UNIT I : INTRODUCTION TO COMPOSITES     [8 Hours]
Fundamentals of composites – need for composites – enhancement of properties – classification of composites – Matrix-Polymer matrix composites (PMC), Metal matrix composites (MMC), Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) – Reinforcement – particle reinforced composites, Fibre reinforced composites. Applications of various types of composites. Fiber production techniques for glass, carbon and ceramic fibers

UNIT II : POLYMER MATRIX COMPOSITES    [12 Hours]
Polymer resins – thermosetting resins, thermoplastic resins – reinforcement fibres – rovings – woven fabrics – non woven random mats – various types of fibres. PMC processes – hand lay up processes – spray up processes – compression moulding – reinforced reaction injection moulding – resin transfer moulding – Pultrusion – Filament winding – Injection moulding. Fibre reinforced plastics (FRP), Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics (GFRP). Laminates- Balanced Laminates, Symmetric Laminates, Angle Ply Laminates, Cross Ply Laminates.-applications of PMC in aerospace, automotive industries

UNIT III:  METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES   [9 Hours]
Characteristics of MMC, various types of metal matrix composites alloy vs. MMC, advantages of MMC, limitations of MMC, Reinforcements – particles – fibres. Effect of reinforcement – volume fraction – rule of mixtures. Processing of MMC – powder metallurgy process – diffusion bonding – stir casting – squeeze casting, a spray process, Liquid infiltration In-situ reactions-Interface-measurement of interface properties- applications of MMC in aerospace, automotive industries
