Course content
1. Motivation lecture. Intoduction in Mechanic of Composite materials. Basic terms. Production and technology. ( Basic terms of mechanics of materials. Review of contemporary computaional systems for composite structures design. Basic terms of mechanics of materials.) 2. Basic relations of mechanics of anisotropic materials (stress and strain tensors), classification of anisotropic materials. Unidirectional composites. FRP composites. (Stiffness matrice of orthotropic material computation.) 3. Elasticity constants of unidirectional composites. Experimental determination of material characteristics of composites. (Computation of off-axis stiffness matrix elements, deformations of a curved beam from unidirectional composite) 4. Composite material failure. Failure criteria - non-interactice and interactive ones. (Labs - unidirectional composite tensile test. Laboratory measurement evaluation, ways of determining elastic constants of a unidirectional composite.) 5. Laminate analysis - classical laminate theory. Constitutive relations, lay-up sequence of laminate. (Failure index computation using different criteria.) 6. Progressive concrete. Composition, production technology and applications, properties. (Composite concrete, ultralight concrete, HPC and UHPC, modifications, nanoaditives, photocatalytic effect.) 7. Progressive metals and metal-based composites, joints. Properties, applications, economic, environmental and technical context. (Bimetal, multi-component alloys, technologies increasing the resistance of metals to environmental effects.) 8. Progressive wood-based materials. Production, properties, applications. (Super wood, layered and glued elements, composite wood-based elements.) 9. Geopolymers and their combinations with other materials. Production, properties, applications, economic, environmental and technical connections. (Using the Potential of the Zbuh landfill near Pilsen.) 10. Progressive ceramic elements and structural glass. Programming of properties, applications, economic, environmental and technical context. (Lightweight elements and constructions, combined constructions, elimination of moisture absorbability, joints, technologies.) 11. Progressive and environmentally friendly thermal insulations. Properties, applications. (Aerogel, vacuum insulations, foils, polymers, organic materials.) 12. Nano- and micromaterials. Production, properties, applications, economic, environmental and technical context. (Structural materials, membranes, surfaces, composite components.) 13.
