This course covers topics related to fiber reinforced composites focusing on the prediction of elastic properties and failure. Students will learn about the microstructure of fiber composites, how it influences material properties, and how the design of composite materials differs from isotropic materials like metals. Students will practice these topics through several hands-on design tasks. Pre-requisite: AA 151
