ME 3133:Composite Mechanics

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: ENGR 3131
To provide a broad introduction to the technology and mechanics of advanced composites (polymer, metal and ceramic matrix), with a particular emphasis on mechanical design using fiber reinforced composites. Micromechanics of composites, as well as effective properties such as lamination theory will be introduced. Design considerations, applications and composite fabrication will also be introduced.
