Title
Micromechanics
Learning Outcome
1. Develop an understanding of the role of constituents in overall response of composite lamina (micromechanics).
Title
Macromechanics
Learning Outcome
2. Develop an understanding of how a set of laminae with different orientations affect the overall laminate properties and response (macromechanics).
Title
Elastic and Strength Properties
Learning Outcome
3. Analyze elastic and strength properties, and elastic response, of orthotropic and anisotropic materials having both continuous and discontinuous reinforcements.
Title
Classical Lamination Theory
Learning Outcome
4. Use Classical Lamination Theory to assess the role of ply orientation on overall axial, bending and twisting elastic deformation of laminates under applied loads.
Title
Failure Theories
Learning Outcome
5. 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.
