About the course
Aim
After the course, the student shall have a solid knowledge and understanding within the area of classic composite mechanics and laminate theory. In addition, the student skall obtain the basic abilities which are demanded to work within testing and calculation of composite material. Finally the student shall acquire the approach and ability to estimate if results from calculations are reasonable. The overall goal is that the student after completed course shall be able to work with advanced investigation and development tasks within composite related questions.
