  1. Introduction to Composite MaterialsAutar K. Kaw WELCOME TO COMPOSITE MATERIALS

  2. Jet Skis? Did you get your license from Gloria Estefan?

  3. Corvette Leaf Springs! Do you still have a license to drive after driving 90 mph?

  4. Snow Skis! No need for a license except checking your accident insurance?

  5. EML 4562Introduction to Composites • "Do not give them any more straw to make bricks with, as your custom has been; let them go and find straw for themselves" (Exodus 5). Although man-made composites have existed for thousands of years, the high technology of advanced composites has been used in the aerospace industry only for the last thirty years. The applications are becoming diverse ranging from aircraft structures and missile canisters to tennis racquets and fishing rods. The objective of this course is to analyze and design fiber reinforced composite materials.

  6. Objectives of the Course

  7. Pre-requisites for the Course • Machine Design and Analysis I, EML 3500 or equivalent. • Linear Algebra

  8. Most Important Pre-requisite • If you don't let a teacher know at what level you are - by asking a question, or revealing your ignorance - you will not learn or grow. You can't pretend for long, for you willeventually be found out.Admission of ignorance is often the first step in our education. Steven Covey - Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

  9. Grading Policy Your final letter grade will be based on the following: • 3 Tests - 45% Total • Online Discussion - 10% • Homework & Online Multiple Choice Tests - 15% • Design Project (Final Exam) - 20% • Web Project -10%

  10. Grading Policy EML 4562 • Grade A - 80-100 Grade B - 70- 79 Grade C - 60- 69 Grade D - 50-59 Grade F - 0-49. EML 5930 • Grade A - 90-100 Grade B - 80- 89 Grade C - 70- 79 Grade D - 60-69 Grade F - 0-59.

  11. Thank You • Thanks for listening to me. • Will you join me on a journey to explore the new frontier in materials called Composite Materials?
