Lecture

Composite Materials Failure

Description

This lecture covers the mechanics of composite materials, including micro and macromechanics, laminate structures, and the effects of fiber orientations. It discusses the failure mechanisms such as matrix cracking, fiber breakage, and delamination, as well as the criteria for rupture and stresses in anisotropic laminates. The instructor also explains the concept of effective properties, safety factors, and the design considerations for composite structures.
