Transferable Skills None

Synopsis of Course Contents Essential concepts and practices of engineering materials begin the course
including conventional and advanced materials along with atomic structure
and defect theories. These are followed by the evaluation of stress /strain
relationships along with linear plasticity. The mechanics of composite mate-
rials are introduced and the role of each constituents making up the
composite structure are explained. Subsequently, Metal Matrix Composites
(MMCs), Polymer Matrix Composites (PMCs) and Ceramic Matrix Compo-
sites (CMCs) will be explored in production techniques. Finally, the compar-
ison of the different types of composite materials and their applications will
be explored in composite technology.
