AER 506 - MECHANICS OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS

College of Engineering

Credits: 3

A study of the structural advantages of composite materials over conventional materials, considering high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. Fiber reinforced, laminated and particulate materials are analyzed. Response of composite structures to static and dynamic loads, thermal and environmental effects, and failure criteria are studied.
