Course Outcomes
Micromechanics
Develop an understanding of the role of constituents in overall response of composite lamina (micromechanics).
Macromechanics
Develop an understanding of how a set of laminae with different orientations affect the overall laminate properties and response (macromechanics).
Elastic and Strength Properties
Analyze elastic and strength properties, and elastic response, of orthotropic and anisotropic materials having both continuous and discontinuous reinforcements.
Classical Lamination Theory
Use Classical Lamination Theory to assess the role of ply orientation on overall axial, bending and twisting elastic deformation of laminates under applied loads.
Failure Theories
Use failure theories for multiaxial loading to determine if a laminate composite will fail for known loading and use this knowledge to design failure resistant structures.
