Integrated Multi-Media with Experiment for Mechanics of Composite materials
Gwo‐Chung Tsai · 2003
The Multi-Media is a power tool to turn over the traditional teaching method. In this paper the basic mechanics of composite materials combined with the experimental equipments are to be integrated to a unit. The test specimen included the geometry shape and dimensions, combined with the test machine and test procedures are cooperated to become a section of the course of composite materials. The tensile test, three point bending test, and manufacturing procedures for the composite materials are described through the multi-media. The course designed by the multi-media becomes more active and attractive through color picture made by Digital Camera. The new material made by the multi-media can give the student the full concept of the mechanics of composite materials. The materials in the course can be read through the website of the school. The student can look into the materials at any location and any time through the network. The learning results are wonderful for the student. Also teacher is not necessary to go to the classroom and has more time to do research and courses development.
