Behavior of unidirectional composites, rule of mixtures, short-fiber composites, analysis of orthotropic lamina, analysis of laminated composites, design of polymer composite structures, and repair of reinforced concrete structures with composite materials. Methods of nondestructive evaluation are studied in this course. Topics include ultrasonics, acoustic emissions, penetrants, eddy current, X-ray and neutron radiography, digital radiography, computed tomography, and thermography. Cross-listed with MME 524. Vertical dead and live loads due to gravity, roof, and floor.
Lateral design loads due to wind and seismic.
