Online Course on Analysis and Design of Composite Structures (2:0)

Objectives

Composites are future materials and have been finding applications in all fields of Engineering (Aero, Civil, Mechanical, Automobile, Marine). Many FEM software packages like ANSYS, MSC-NASTRON, PATRAN, ABACUS, LS-DYNA, etc are available for Analysis & Design Optimization. One should first understand the Mechanical behaviour of the Composite Structures before using FEM packages. After the completion of this course one can use the FEM software packages for better quality of professional work and optimum usage of time, computing and human resources.

Syllabus
