Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
1) Students taking this course will learn how fiber metal laminated composites superior material than traditional composites and then they will have thought about the availability of this material in new application areas next to existing applications.
2) By identifying the damages which are occurred at the material due to external effects/loads at application areas especially, they will have the ability to perform preventive maintenance.
