"Project-based Education" (PBE). Lectures and computer labs concerned with the modeling of the deformation response and failure of engineering materials (metals, polymers and composites) subject to extreme loadings during manufacturing, crash, impact and blast events.

The courses treats aspects related to elastic behavior of unidirectional and multidirectional laminates, micromechanics, failure and damage analysis, analysis and design of composite structures. The focus is on laminated fiber-reinforced polymer composites.
