FAST-CJ02Acad. year: 2016/2017
The presentstructure of the material industry, the development of composite materials, composite materials division into basic types and their characteristics. Definition of composite material and the interpretation of the composite action. Variables defining properties of composites. Structural Composites division - manufacturing problems. Particle Composites and their distribution. Fiber composites, fiber matrix. Carbon, metal, glass and polypropylene fibers. Composite materials with a polymer matrix and fiber reinforcement. Composite materials with cement matrix and fiber reinforcement, glass fiber reinforced concrete, fiber reinforced with steel fibers. New materials for reinforcement of structures, plates, reinforcing fabric. Unidirectional Composites - relative proportion of phases, thermal expansion and transport properties. Lectures are supplemented by laboratory assignments in the course.
