ETI2464C

In this class, students will delve into the theory and micromechanics on how to design composite structures, processing techniques on how to manufacture them, and structural testing methods for validation. Starting from traditional composite materials (such as fiber-reinforced), this course will also bring in concepts of new composite designs inspired by nature (bioinspired) and developed by algorithms (using artificial intelligence). Students will gain exposure to a broad range of composite applications, as well as hands-on experience on actually designing, fabricating, and experimentally testing a composite component using advanced computation and additive manufacturing with a final project.
