Lect Notes

This document provides an overview of a lecture on composite materials. The key points covered are: an introduction to what composite materials are and their main components; the different types of matrices and reinforcements used; why composites are used due to advantages like lower density and higher strength; and how composites are designed by selecting matrices and reinforcements to meet specific material properties.
