Mechanical Behavior of Composites: Interfaces and Porous Materials

This lecture discusses the mechanical behavior of composites, focusing on the role of interfaces and porous materials. It covers topics such as the influence of interface toughness on crack propagation, the significance of porous materials in composite structures, and the mechanical properties of porous composites. The presentation explores the behavior of composites under different loading conditions, including compression and tension, and highlights the importance of understanding the interactions between different phases in composite materials.
