Explores fracture mechanics, crack growth, and the weakest link theory, emphasizing the statistical distribution of crack sizes and the significance of the largest crack in material failure.
Explores the deformation and rupture behavior of composite materials, emphasizing continuous fiber composites and the role of the fiber-matrix interface.
Covers Classical Laminate Theory for solving mechanics problems with multiple material layers, discussing displacements, strains, stresses, and equilibrium.
Covers the principles of Scanning Electron Microscopy, including SEM signals, detectors, and energy spectrum of electrons, as well as the efficiency of X-ray generation.
