MAE 5135
Mechanics of Composite Structures

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

Covers the fundamentals of mechanical analysis and material selection for composite materials. Topics include an overview of composite types, advantages, applications and fabrication; anisotropic elasticity; specific composite constitutive equations including plane stress and lamination theory; failure analysis; boundary value problems using composite materials; experimental methods and an introduction to micromechanics. Lectures cover essential background material and theoretical developments. Labs provide hands-on experiences for understanding composite materials properties and performance.

When Offered Spring.

Outcomes
  • Students will be able to understand the advantages, the potential applications associated with several classes of composite materials.
  • Students will be able to conduct critical mechanical analyses associated with the deformation and failure of composites accounting specifically for stiffness and strength anisotropy.
  • Students will be able to understand mechanical tests employed to measure composite elastic moduli and strength.
  • Students will be able to properly select composite materials for mechanical designs.
