The course covers topics intended to introduce various aspects of composite materials. Design and mechanical behaviour of composite materials will be introduced. Topics will include reinforcement and matrix materials, manufacturing methods, composite applications, analysis of composite systems using micromechanics, orthotropic lamina theory, macromechanics and failure analysis of laminates. Project on current research topics and selected applications. Prerequisite(s): ME 323 or permission of instructor
