Course Objectives		To learn about the composite materials. To solve the problems on the mechanics of composite materials
Course Description		Fibers: glass, carbon, ceramics, organics fibers. Matrix materials: polymers, metal, ceramics, carbon matrix materials. Composite materials: polymers matrix composites, ceramic matrix composites, carbon/carbon composites. Mechanics of composite materials: density, elasticity coefficient, thermal expansion coefficients. Transfer of tensile loading to matrix from fibers. Strength of composite materials. Mechanics of lamina structure.
Course Outcomes		I.An ability to identify the properties of fiber and matrix materials used in commercial composites, as well as some common manufacturing techniques. II.An ability to predict the elastic properties of both long and short fiber composites based on the constituent properties. III.An ability to rotate stress, strain and stiffness tensors using ideas from matrix algebra. IV.A basic understanding of linear elasticity with emphasis on the difference between isotropic and anisotropic material behavior. V.An ability to analyze a laminated plate in bending, including finding laminate properties from lamina properties and find residual stresses from curing and moisture. VI.An ability to predict the failure strength of a laminated composite plate. VII.A knowledge of issues in fracture of composites and environmental degradation of composites. VIII.An exposure to recent developments in composites, including metal and ceramic matrix composites. IX.An ability to use the ideas developed in the analysis of composites towards using composites in aerospace design.
