This document discusses the course MDPN452 Mechanics of Composite Materials, taught by Dr. Mohammad Tawfik. It covers topics related to micromechanics of composites including the relationship between composite and constituent material properties, designing composites to achieve desired stiffness and strength, assumptions of micromechanics models, approaches to determining elastic properties like stiffness and Poisson's ratio, and models for predicting strength in tension and compression. Students are assigned homework to research models of tensile and compressive failure in composites and compare them to experimental data.
