CE 484 - Mechanics of Composite Materials

Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0
Credit Hours: 3

Introduction to the behavior of composite materials. Topics addressed will include fabrication, behavior, and properties of the constituent fibers and matrices, micromechanical predictions of composite properties, behavior of composite laminae, and classical lamination theory (CLT). Fracture mechanisms and failure theories will also be addressed. Prerequisite(s): CE 206 or ME 206 with a minimum grade of C
