RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 MURČINKOVÁ, Zuzana T1 COMPOSITE MATERIALS AS INOVATING FEATURE IN MECHANICS OF MATERIALS JF Trends in education YR 2010 VO 3 IS 1 SP 541 OP 543 UL https://tvv-journal.upol.cz/en/artkey/tvv-201001-0127.php AB The paper dealt with integration of composite materials behaviour principles into classical teaching of subject Mechanics of materials. Such integration provides innovative feature for subject. One of basic assumptions in calculations is that material is homogenise and isotropic. In case of composites, the basic assumption is not fulfilled. Anisotropy of composites introduces larger applications or changing the conventional thinking of calculations and designing.
