Composites

Composite engineering is the technology of combining multiple materials in a designed material system to develop synergistic system attributes, wherein the combination of the constituent properties are much greater than the individual materials. For example, steel reinforced concrete combines the excellent compressive strength of concrete with the tensile strength of steel, or stiff carbon fiber with an epoxy resin makes a light weight stiff component for aircraft parts or rocket casing. System design technology is a very important aspect of composite engineering, as are the processing methods, such as filament winding, poltrusion, transfer molding, and infiltration.

Composites structures can be made from organic, ceramic, glass or metal components and homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures of these materials. Structures are classified with a continuous phase matrix material and a reinforcement material, such as a fiber, rod, platelet, or particulate material.
