MECH 530 - Advanced Composite Materials

  • 3 credits
  • Online

Materials aspects of advanced composite constituents and how their combination yields synergistic results.

Course Objective:

To introduce composite constituent materials, such as fibers and matrices, describe their development, and investigate the interactions which yield the synergy that is the basis for the technical interest in advanced composite materials.

To introduce the concepts of a designed, or tailored, material. Some background in such advanced materials gives the mechanical designer new tools with which to complete a given project. As well, these "designer" materials need to be better understood if optimal application of their properties is to take place.
