Aerospace Composite Structures

This four-course certificate program will give you proficiency in designing modern aircraft and aerospace composite structures. You'll study the mechanics of composites, learning key concepts like anisotropy and orthotropy that differ from metals' isotropic behavior. The program introduces micromechanics to estimate lamina elastic properties and strength. It then presents lamination theory in-depth for structural design applications. You'll learn laminate-level and micromechanical failure criteria and apply them to structural integrity problems. Finally, you'll explore damage and fracture mechanics for composites, comparing them to metal counterpart theories.
