Credit PointsThis is a 6 unit-of-credit (UoC) course and involves 3 or 4 hours per week (h/w) of face-toface contact.The normal workload expectations of a student are approximately 25 hours per term for eachUOC, including class contact hours, other learning activities, preparation and time spent onall assessable work.You should aim to spend about 10 h/w on this course. The additional time should be spent inmaking sure that you understand the lecture material, completing the set assignments,further reading, and revising for any examinations.This is a HYBRID course offered to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students.Contact hoursDayTimeLocationLectures(Weeks 1-8 & 10-11Monday (PG UG)2pm – 4pmChemSc M17Problem SolvingSessions(Weeks 3-8)Tuesday (PG)Tuesday (PG)Tuesday (PG)Wednesday (UG)Wednesday (UG)Thursday (UG)10am – 12pm1pm – 3pm3pm – 5pm1pm – 3pm3pm – 5pm1pm – 3pmAinsworth 101 (J17)Ainsworth 102 (J17)Ainsworth 102 (J17)OMB 150Ainsworth G02 (J17)Ainsworth 202 (J17)Laboratory(See Below)See your classtimetableSee your classtimetableSee your classtimetableSee your classtimetableWillis Annexe J18 /Automated Composite LabWillis Annexe J18 /Automated Composite LabWillis Annexe J18 /Automated Composite LabWillis Annexe J18 /Automated Composite Lab6pm – 7pm6pm – 7pmClancy AuditoriumClancy AuditoriumWednesdayWeeks 4-9ThursdayWeeks 4–7 & 9FridayWeek 11TuesdayTests (OTH)Test #1 (Week 4)Test #2 (Week 10)(See Below)ThursdayThursdayLectures commence in week 1 and run until week 10.

Summary and Aims of the course(a) Composite material constituents and their properties(b) Manufacturing methods and processes(c) Micromechanical analysis of composite strength and stiffness: Assumptions and limitations Longitudinal strength and stiffness In-plane shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio(d) Elastic properties of the unidirectional lamina: Engineering constants Stress-strain relationship of a thin lamina Transformation of stress and strain and elastic constants Typical elastic properties of a unidirectional lamina(e) Analysis of laminated composites: Basic assumptions Strain-displacement relationship Laminate stiffness Determination of lamina stress and strain Types of laminate configuration(f) Failure theories and strength of unidirectional lamina: Micro-mechanics of failure of unidirectional lamina Failure theories Importance of shear stress Choice of failure criteria Typical strength properties(g) Design of components: International standards for tests and certification(h) Structural health monitoring and non-destructive testing methods* Topics during the weekly teaching format might be varied or changedOn successful completion of this course, students should be able to: (a) Understand the useof fibre-reinforced composites in structural applications and (b) Develop a basicunderstanding of the use of composite materials, micromechanics of layered composites,analysis and design of composite structures and failure analysis of laminated panels.Composite Materials and Mechanics takes the themes of the fundamentals of materialscience and engineering and applies them in an engineering context.The objective of this course is to develop a solid understanding of the properties ofcomposite materials, micromechanics and lamination theory, together with the analysis andmanufacture of lightweight composite structures in a unified and integrated manner for anundergraduate/postgraduate student. These are fundamental to mechanical, civil andmaterial science engineering and related programs such as mechatronic engineering, navalarchitecture, aerospace engineering and biomedical engineering as well as manufacturingand industrial design.Course Outline: MECH94204
