The Incredible Properties of Composite Materials

This video takes a look at composite materials, materials that are made up from two or more distinct materials. Composites are engineered to obtain materials with very useful material properties, tailored for specific applications.

In the structure of a typical composite, one material - the dispersed phase - is contained within another - the matrix phase. The dispersed phase usually consists of small particles, or of either short or continuous fibers.

CFRP, or carbon fiber-reinforced polymer, is one of the most commonly used engineering composites. But there are many others, including metal-matrix composites and ceramic-matrix composites, that have uses in many different industries and applications.

Thanks for watching!

Let me know your favourite composite materials in the comments!

This video summarizes the three-credit Composite Material course I took in my senior year. Extremely high-quality content. ❤

I cannot believe such high quality videos are available for us for free... I can't thank you enough for what you do for us.

I have just rewatched it today. Amazing content, jaw breaking animation quality, you learn more in 20 minutes than hours of courses and internet digging. I am shameful that I can only buy you a pint but if a lot of people do the same, you will get an effective crowd patronage. Thank you for your work !

This is an excellent video, your animations are first class.
I'd love to see a second part of this topic dealing with failure modes and adding more detail in the different manufacturing processes.

As a prospective researcher in the field of Composite Materials, I must say that this is by far the best content I have seen on Youtube.

[Praddy]

Always so informative. I’ve learnt more from you than i have in my Bachelors degree. You should be a staple for education.

I'm studying mechanical engineering + automation and industrial robotics here in Poland and I have to say THANK YOU for making all these vids and helping me and others to understand 'how stuff works'. Really appreciate the quality and effort you put in these

[thesoupinor]

I really appreciate these videos. I'm a recent mechanical engineering grad, and I've never worked with composites, but it's nice to know some of the theory as presented here. Your work is great

[ДмитрийГончаренко-сш]

As the composite materials engineer from university, I have to say - this video is incredibly informative and accurate! Definitely would recommend it to students

[mubarakabbas]

It has been long that i saw your video. I just cant stop watching your vid. Thanks for the good job keep it up

[theShejin]

You guys are absolutely amazing and deserve more views...♥️ I am definitely recommending this channel to all my juniors who are pursuing an engineering degree. Keep it up 👏

[Pauldyke]

Fun fact: Reinforced Concrete is the most commonly used composite material.

[samtenlhendup]

High quality information made seem simple. Wish if all the lessons were taught in this manner. Really enjoying the videos uploaded by efficient engineer. Appreciated the efforts put into every videos 😊

[omersen]

The best video that ı have seen releated with composite materials so far

[abowden]

incredible... OP should build a sub to explore the titanic with this incredible material

[NisaanthTM]

upload many lectures of all Core subjects of Mechanical Engineering, your animation and teaching is really well understood and really awesome

[blackviking]

Just blown away by this video. Unbelievably high quality content. I cannot believe I'm getting this content for free.

[vutdat]

Extremely high quality video. Very interesting, thank you for making this

[bunnypeople]

This channel produces such high quality videos. You should be proud of yourself
