EML 6232 INTRODUCTION TO
COMPOSITE MATERIALS EML4230 FALL 2013 ROOM ENG003 (MWF 2-2:50PM) INTRODUCTION: "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 synthetic composites
have existed for thousands of years, the high technology of advanced
composites has been used in the aerospace industry
only for the last fifty years. The
applications are becoming diverse - from aircraft structures and missile
canisters to tennis racquets and fishing rods. The objective of this course
is to analyze and design structures made of fiber reinforced composite
materials. SHORT
OBJECTIVES:
Introduce to advanced composite materials and their applications. Develop fundamental relationships for
predicting the mechanical and hygrothermal response of multi layered
materials and structures. Develop
micromechanical and macromechanical relationships for lamina and laminated materials
with emphasis on continuous filament.
Introduce material, structural, and strength optimization to design
laminated composite materials using user-friendly software. IMPORTANT

University catalog for undergraduates and graduates (2013-2014). MAKE UP
TEST POLICY:
In the event of a serious illness (physician's statement documenting severity
of illness required), death in the family or other legitimate, documented,
verifiable emergency resulting in the absence from a schedule test, a student
may be given a make-up test. Notification of absence must
be given prior to the commencement of the scheduled examination or
test to me. Do not presume that your
reasons for missing an examination or test are acceptable unless
authorization is given to you. In the event of an emergency, it may be
necessary for USF to suspend normal operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue
delivery of instruction through methods that include but are not limited to: Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging
and/or an alternate schedule. It is
the responsibility of the student to monitor Blackboard site for each class
for course specific communication, and the main USF, College, and department
websites, emails, and MoBull messages for important general information. REGRADING
POLICY Regrading of a test, homework, or computer
project should be requested within five working days
of it being returned to you. Regrading
after the final grade has been assigned for the
course will be allowed only in extreme circumstances. Mistakes in the grade book entries should be rectified as soon as possible to avoid any
change of grade issues. You will need
a copy of all your graded tests for verification. KEEP ALL YOUR GRADED PAPERS TILL THE END OF THE COURSE. GRADES
ON THE WEB Grades will be updated
on the web (https://learn.usf.edu) after grading of each est. MISSED
EXAMINATIONS NO make up tests will be
given. However, in the event of
a serious illness (physician's statement documenting severity of illness
required), death in the family or other legitimate, documented, verifiable
emergency resulting in the absence from a schedule test, each case will be evaluated separately. The decision of the instructor is
final. An example of a make-up score
is that if you miss a test, you may be given the
same grade as another exam, and so on.
Curving of make-up exam grades is at the discretion of the instructor.
Notification of absence must
be given before the commencement of the scheduled examination or test
to me. You need to type a professional
memo (no e-mails will be accepted) about your absence addressed to me as soon
as possible. Attach any documentation
with it. Do not presume that your reasons for missing
an examination or test are acceptable unless authorization is
given to you. POLICY
ON RELIGIOUS OBSERVATIONS Students who need to be absent under this rule
must provide written notice of date(s) to me by the second-class meeting. POLICY
ON STUDENT DISABILITY ACCOMODATIONS “Students
in need of academic accommodations for a disability may consult with the
office of Students with Disabilities Services to arrange appropriate
accommodations. Students are required to give reasonable notice prior to
requesting an accommodation.” The website is http://www.sds.usf.edu/index.htm. ACADEMIC
DISHONESTY AND DISRUPTION If you are found
cheating on any of the homework, quizzes or tests, you will get a ‘FF’ for
the whole course, and referred to the Dean’s office for further process or
appeal. Academic disruption includes excessive side
talking and lack of respect for your fellow classmates and the instructor,
and will be handled as per the undergraduate/graduate
catalog of 2013-2014. Fall 2013 – Course Content Chapter 1: Introduction to Composite Materials Assigned
