- Writing of the laws of behavior of a unidirectional composite
- Using of the main failure criteria,
- Implementation of the laminate theory for the determination of the stresses in a multilayer composite,
- Identify the mechanical features of a composite according to the stacking of these layers,?
- Use design software based on the laminate theory.
