EMMF-3092:Fibre Composite Manufacturing Technologies OCT

Description
This unit provides training on the manufacturing processes of the fibre reinforced composite materials. Fibre composite material technology is an introductory manufacturing process course focusing on the basics of composite properties, manufacturing processes, design guidelines for composite components with various fibre reinforcements and laminate stacking sequences. The manufacturing process of the fibre reinforced composite technology will cover the hand lay-up techniques, vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding technology, spray lay-up techniques, Autoclaves techniques and heat press technology. Synthetic fibre (glass fibre) and natural fibre (date palm fibre) will be used as reinforcement and thermoset and thermoplastics will be used as matrix materials. After completing this course, students will learn the unique manufacturing technics and technical know-how of the advanced composite manufacturing technology and be able to apply their knowledge and skills in the advanced composite material industry sectors. Lab 3 hrs/wk.
