Syllabus

Composites-definition and classification introduction to matrix and reinforcement fibers: glass fibers, ceramic fibers, boron fiber, carbon fiber, aramid fiber matrix materials: polymer matrix, metal matrix, ceramic matrix interfaces fabrication of composites ceramic matrix composites micromechanics of composites: density, mechanical properties, thermal properties failure in composites: fracture modes in composites, debonding, fiber pullout, delamination fatigue and creep in composites.

To be acquainted with the composite materials. Understanding the importance of new materials design and fabrication of composites for practical need.

To enlighten the area of materials type-composites. Processing of composites need to be known. Structure-property relationship is important to learn.

2. To be able to contribute in the team which addresses the issue of new composite system as per designed to be applied in advanced technology era.

To be able to deliver the design and to be able to get assured of the performance of proper material needed by advanced technology.
