Description:<\/strong> (Lecture, 3 credits) Introduction to the basic concepts of the mechanical behavior of composite materials. Analysis and performance of fiber-reinforced composites. Special design considerations and experimental characterization of composites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-requisite: <\/strong>CVE 220<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructor: <\/strong>Professor Hamouda Ghonem, Office: Engineering Building Rm 212, Phone: 874-2909, Email: ghonem@uri.edu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learning Objectives:  <\/strong>After completing this course, the student will be able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. predict composite properties based on micromechanical theories<\/li>
  2. perform stress and strain analysis in anisotropic and orthotropic materials having continuous fiber reinforcement<\/li>
  3. model thermal\/moisture effects on mechanical properties  of CFRC composite materials.<\/li>
  4. use Classical Lamination Theory to examine the role of individual plies on the global and local axial, bending and twisting deformation of laminates.<\/li>
  5. use failure theories for multiaxial loading to determine the composite survivability.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Course Requirements: <\/strong>Only the basic concepts introduced in an undergraduate strength-of-materials course is necessary.  The course, however, requires the knowledge of matrix analysis as well as the use of computational programs (examples are: MATLAB, and Microsoft Excel).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
