Explores the deformation and rupture behavior of composite materials, emphasizing continuous fiber composites and the role of the fiber-matrix interface.
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.
Covers the constituents, manufacturing processes, properties, and environmental impact of composites, including synthetic fibers like Kevlar and carbon fibers.
Explores failure mechanisms in MEMS, covering design, manufacturing, and in-use failures, emphasizing reliability considerations and mitigation strategies for mechanical shock and vibration resistance.
