Course Objective

Textile preforms are the structural backbone for toughening and net shape manufacturing of composites. This basic course is to give an idea to engineers about the textile preforms and the composites of these preforms. This introductory course begins with a general overview of the textile composites, continues with the behaviour and the structure of textile reinforcements and finally the application areas are examined. The studies done on the textile composites will be discussed.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Identifying textile composites
2   Having knowledge of manufacturing methods of textile composites
3   Understanding the behaviours of the composites reinforced with different textile structures
4   Analyzing the behaviours of textile composites
5   Being able to choose the reinforement based on the requirements from the composite
6   Following, understanding and presenting studies on textile composites
