ME 325 - Mechanics of Composite Materials

The fundamentals of the mechanics of composite materials used in manufacturing will build upon a student’s knowledge of the strength of materials and knowledge of manufacturing. The course will cover the terminology or composites as well as fibrous, laminated, and particulate composites. The macro- and micro-mechanical behavior of lamina will also be covered such as stress-strain relations, strength, stiffness and elasticity. Buckling, bending and vibration will also be covered.
