 The application of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) or Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) in industry is growing rapidly. Sufficient understanding for basic concept, characteristic, and behavior of composite-polymer material, which differ to metal, ceramic and plastic, is needed to help the operators and engineers to do their job.This course is delivered to provide basic concepts and practical knowledge of composite-polymer material design and manufacture. After all, this course will guide attendants to achieve knowledge and general description of composite material technology by understanding the behavior, design and manufacturing method, and also understanding how to produce a high quality of composite-polymer product.
- Understand the basic concept of composite material from raw material characteristic aspect.
- Introduce the manufacturing process of composite-polymer and effect of raw material selection.
- Introduce the basic design, mechanics, and characteristic of fiber reinforced composite.
- Understand the behavior of composite for impact load, fatigue, and environment aspects.
- Quality control and basic characterization of composite-polymer material.
