Composite Materials

1 Course Unit

This course deals with the prediction of the average, or effective properties of composite materials. The emphasis will be on methods for determining effective behavior. The course will be concerned mostly with linear mechanical and physical properties, with particular emphasis on the effective conductivity and elastic moduli of multi-phase composites and polycrystals. However, time-dependent and non-linear properties will also be discussed. Not Offered Every Year Prerequisite: ENM 5100 AND ENM 5110 1 Course Unit
