Composite Materials and Structures

Composite materials are engineered combinations of two or more different substances that, together, create a material with enhanced properties. For example, they can be stronger, lighter, or more durable than their individual components. Structures made from composites use these materials to build objects like airplanes, cars, and sports equipment, offering advantages such as increased strength-to-weight ratio and improved resistance to wear. By carefully selecting and combining materials, engineers design composites that meet specific performance needs, making them essential in advanced manufacturing and innovative design.
