What are you going to learn?
What are composite materials? How are they manufactured? What advantages and drawbacks do
composites have over metals? Develop mathematical models to
understand the mechanical response of composites to mechanical and hygrothermal loads?
Use the above mathematical models to optimally design structures made of composites.

What is a composite?
A composite is a structural material which consists of combining two or more constituents
Examples: Flesh in your leg reinforced
with bones Concrete reinforced with
steel Epoxy reinforced with
graphite fibers.

Shift in Paradigm About Materials
“More important than any one new application is
the new ‘materials’ concept itself ”
Peter F. DruckerThe Age of Discontinuity, 1969
![Page 9: Introduction to Composite Materials (Laminated Composite Materials) Mechanical Engineering Instructor: Autar Kaw](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dcf5503460f94ac403a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

From substance to structures From artisan to science From workshop to mathematical
modeling From what nature provides to what
man can accomplish

More Toughness and Ductility
Fiber-matrix interface area is inversely proportional to the diameter of the fibers
Higher surface area of fiber-matrix interface results in higher ductility and toughness, and better transfer of loads.
![Page 47: Introduction to Composite Materials (Laminated Composite Materials) Mechanical Engineering Instructor: Autar Kaw](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062300/56649dcf5503460f94ac403a/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
More Flexibility
Flexibility is proportional to inverse of Young’s modulus Fourth power of diameter
Thinner fibers hence have a higher flexibility and are easy to handle in manufacturing.
