Portale di Ateneo - En.Unibs.it

The course is complementary to the basic ones of Machine Design. Its aim is to analyze the behavior of the materials available for mechanical engineering applications and to present advanced methodologies for the structural design and assessment of components, also subjected to particular working conditions or made of innovative materials.  
Short program:
Module of  "Mechanics of Materials": Classification and mechanical properties of engineering materials, Materials indexes and selection criteria, Constitutive laws, Low cycle fatigue, Fracture mechanics, Creep.
Module of "Design with Advanced Materials": Reinforcement phases and matrices for Advanced Composite Materials, Micromechanics and Macromechanics of orthotropic laminae, Failure criteria, Classic Lamination Theory, Design of composite laminates, Joining techniques, Sandwich structures, Fatigue, Impact, Experimental testing.
