ADVANCED COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Contemporary topics in composite materials, including innovations in sandwich structures, textile composites, and architected materials; fracture mechanics; durability and damage tolerance; experimental techniques; transient, micro, nonlinear, inelastic and environmental effects; advanced manufacturing methods: repair and applications. Knowledge of basic composite materials [such as CIV ENGR/E M A/M E 508 ] is strongly encouraged.
