复合材料力学是研究复合材料在外界因素（荷载、温度变化、湿度变化）作用下发生的力学响应的一门科学，是固体力学和材料学科相结合的一个新分支，其研究对象具有非均质性和各向异性特征。本课程教学目的是期望学生能深刻地了解纤维增强复合材料的特性；掌握有关合理选择增强纤维和基体的种类及其体积比的基本方法确定单层板的最佳刚度和强度；能正确地选择铺层设计，对铺层材料的铺层方案做出合理的安排，为复合材料层合结构的设计提供最佳的材料设计参数。

Composite Material Mechanics is a science which studies mechanics response of composite material due to environmental factors including loads, temperature and humidity changes, is a new embranchment of combination of solid mechanics and material science and whose research object has non-homogenous and anisotropic features. The aim of this course is to expect students to understand features of fiber reinforced composite material profoundly, to grip the basic method to ascertain the best intensity and stiffness of the single-layer plate by choosing categories of reinforced-fiber and matrix and their volume ratio and to choose designs of cross-ply rightly and make a reasonable choice of cross-ply scheme of cross-ply materials for the sake of providing the best material design parameters of composite material laminated structures.
