Composite Materials and Applications

Catalog description

Provides a comprehensive training covering fundamental principles, technologies, and applications of composite materials. Offers students an opportunity to gain an understanding of strengthening mechanisms in fiber, particle, metal-matrix, ceramic-matrix, carbon-carbon, and hybrid composites and to learn how to calculate elastic modulus, critical fiber length, and other parameters. Discusses design considerations of aramid-reinforced composites, such as Kevlar, and other composite materials in terms of their applications. Reviews applications of composite materials in aviation, defense, sports, and advanced manufacturing.
