Course details
Manufacturing of Composites focuses on the principles, materials, and processes involved in producing composite components that combine two or more distinct materials to achieve superior mechanical, thermal, and functional properties. The subject emphasizes the integration of reinforcing fibers with matrix materials to create lightweight, high-strength, and high-performance structures.
The course covers composite constituents such as fibers, matrices, and fillers, along with their properties and selection criteria. It provides detailed insight into major manufacturing processes including hand lay-up, spray lay-up, filament winding, pultrusion, resin transfer molding (RTM), vacuum bag molding, and autoclave processing. Quality control, defects, and testing of composite components are also addressed.
By studying the manufacturing of composites, learners gain the ability to select appropriate materials and processes, optimize production parameters, and ensure structural integrity and performance. This knowledge is essential for applications in aerospace, automotive, marine, wind energy, and advanced structural engineering industries.
