Students will discover polymer based composite materials. 

The objective of these courses and tutorials is to give them all the knowledge to identify these materials and make choices to meet a specific application (environment, mechanical and thermal stresses, industrial sector, manufacturing processes, production rates). 

The 9 hours of lecture are organized into 4,5 hours of lessons illustrated by examples of composites constituents, parts, processes, ... and 4,5 hours of tutorials focused on applications.

During this course, master students will acquire basic knowledge on composites, their composition, architecture, main properties and main use.

In a second part, we will establish the mixing laws used to describe the mechanical behaviour of filled polymers and unidirectional composites. Particular emphasis will be put on simplifying assumptions that limit the use of these models.
