Learning Path

Introduction to Ceramics → Applications of CMCs

This learning path guides undergraduate engineering students through the fundamental concepts and design principles of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). Starting with the basics of ceramics and composite materials, it progresses to the science of fiber reinforcement, toughening mechanisms, and the specific behavior of SiC and Al2O3 matrix systems. The path concludes with practical applications in high-temperature and oxidation-prone environments, emphasizing how CMC design addresses these challenges.
