Design and Implementation of Active Learning Activities Focused on Simulations of Drilling in Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, a set of active learning activities has been presented. These tasks are focused on the design and implementation of online activities for students of Mechanical Engineering Degree, in order to fulfill specific and generic competences in the field of manufacturing engineering, and in particular in machining processes. For this purpose, the students have conducted simulations using finite elements method, through Deform 3D software, and it has been applied to the drilling process of the composite with polymeric matrix, polyether-ether-ketone reinforced with glass fibre in 30%, PEEK-GF30. The results show data of variables as thrust force and torque, and others relate to online activities and skills acquired by students when they perform the tasks in a virtual platform. These type of activities motive to students and allow knowing the behavior of materials on a more attractive manner.
