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.

Thank you
Please make a video on DFMA
Glued Poop. Cuz its shows how meaningless Composite Materials means.
just not for experimental titan submarines lmao 🤣🤣
kinda makes me wonder why they don't make a tank/armored vehicle out of composite material like how kevlar protects humans..it would benefit in terms of reducing fuel consumption, heat signature as a result, and make the vehicle faster? to make it more defensible and evasive and stealthy
This video summarizes the three-credit Composite Material course I took in my senior year. Extremely high-quality content. ❤
Indeed! It covered the non arts and crafts portion of the first semester of my degree in "Aerospace Composites Manufacturing" What is more impressive is that I didn't catch anything wrong or that was blatantly missed. (At least that could have been fit within half an hour that is...) The reverse of the Gellman amnesia effect I suppose. Rare that you find a summary video that actually does a good job on something you have quite a bit of knowledge on. Always a good sign when the creator talks about things you aren't as familiar with as well... I'm definitely going to be showing this video to several people. At the least I will show it to some high school students I mentor!
which books do you recommend to learn it
@@genetic1752 Mechanics of Composite Materials by Autar K. Kaw
The video is aimed at middle school students
@@DumbledoreMcCracken Middle school?? Ain't no school teaching composites bruh.
Fun fact: Reinforced Concrete is the most commonly used composite material.
Non reinforced concrete is also a composite material
you R right @@rkond
@@rkond _Right,_ cement + ... whatever else is in concrete 😅 I... had watched this video too long ago to remember he mentioned this. 🤦🏾♂️
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 !
Appreciate it Fabien, thank you! :)
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 KZhead.
Always so informative. I’ve learnt more from you than i have in my Bachelors degree. You should be a staple for education.
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
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 👏
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
As the composite materials engineer from university, I have to say - this video is incredibly informative and accurate! Definitely would recommend it to students
incredible... OP should build a sub to explore the titanic with this incredible material
😂😂😂 …or NASA begin using plywood as a ablative for re-entry vehicles, as being equally appropriate to application.
@@georgedreisch2662 i think nasa has legitamite reasoning here, compared to oceangate
Too soon 😂
@@georgedreisch2662 interesting enough the space shuttle that burned up upon re entry was due to Nasa changed the ceramic heat tiles to carbon fiber ones and the carbon fiber ones cracked and broke
There's nothing wrong with using composites in compression, anyone can make a sh*t design out of any material and have it fail prematurely. Oceangate's management just had no idea what they were doing. That's why their lead engineer sued them. He knew it was going to fail because poor design decisions were being made. They cut corners (testing) and suffered the consequences.
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 😊
I do love all the things you did for us ! Because having this kind of videos with a big quality and high content is just amazing.
Excellent video! Feels like a complete composite material lecture in one video
Wow you're just in time, I've just had a course on composite materials and your video will help me go deeper and understand the concept better. Keep up the good work
Just blown away by this video. Unbelievably high quality content. I cannot believe I'm getting this content for free.
your work is more than amazing! PLEASE upload more often!
As usual you wont disappoint me in terms of the details provided efficiently...your videos make engineers more EFFICIENT... hence the name suits...!
upload many lectures of all Core subjects of Mechanical Engineering, your animation and teaching is really well understood and really awesome
Holy. I've been waiting for a video on this. Thanks so much.
It has been long that i saw your video. I just cant stop watching your vid. Thanks for the good job keep it up
Your presentation about composite material is top notch quality!!...easy to grasp concept!!
Extremely high quality video. Very interesting, thank you for making this
I now get it. These presentations are what cause automotive engineers to go: "I should use plastic for that intake manifold"
why make a manifold that lasts the entire life of the car when you can make a cheap manifold from plastic that becomes brittle with time and need changed often? they make more money with the cheap plastic ones.
But is a plastic manifold really a big deal? They have been used for the last, what? 30 years? and it’s not like they are exploding all the time…. I am pretty sure someone in the world has also had problems with leaking aluminium manifolds💁🏻♂️ Using low quality plastic is a different thing.
Great video, thank you, especially the first half. Maybe for other ideas explaining thermoplastics, RTM injection. Also on sandwich, core can also be metal. Applications for sandwich are also for acoustics attenuation. New types of reasearch include composite material built from additive material techniques (also working for metals) which brings a lot of new ideas to solve old issues
very well put together and summarized !!
This channel produces such high quality videos. You should be proud of yourself
Excellent video! I encourage anyone watching this to get into the workshop and build some composite parts. Certain materials and design tools are financially out of reach for most of us, but with a relatively small investment you can make high quality vacuum-bagged carbon parts at home. There are tons of great videos and books out there to help out. You can--and should-- learn all of the theoretical side of composites, but there is no replacement for the understanding derived from making parts yourself.
To the point-precise and highly informative
Excellent content and easy to understand. Thank you for high quality content. Seeking more about material and corrosion.
The best video that ı have seen releated with composite materials so far
This video is just so good and well explained that I just cannot believe it exists!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, I really enjoyed the video
insanely precious of a video ❤
That thumbnail though! My first reflex was to think "Oh another Oceangate video!" :D
Nice video, I hope you can keep building them. 🙂
Another very informative and well-made video.
For the biomedical bonding to bone fast at 18:30, here in Australia about 20 years ago, we showed how coral knitted to bone and gave the new bone structures a strengthening shape. Lattice is the key word.
great presentation. Thank you
Excellent explanation, thanks
Literally just started my final year course on composites. Thanks for the great video!
literally just wow. much wow.
Excellent lecture. Thanks a lot.
Awesome video. Helped a lot during studying.
If I may suggest a topic, I'd love a series of videos about fracture mechanics. I'll totally watch that
the quality on this is great
this video is absolutely amazing
Really amazing work❤
I am an aerospace engineer that specializes in composite structures. Great video and fantastic animations!
Excellent presentation. I really like the way you develop story around technical topics. I have expertise in Fibre Reinforced Polymer materials used in Structural Engineering applications.
very helpful, thank you
Great video. You explained very well than the professor at my department
Thanks for the knowledge
Extremely high quality video. Very interesting, thank you for making this. Extremely high quality video. Very interesting, thank you for making this.
You have a Presentation Par Excellence! Both in Form & Substance!👍💯🎉🏆🎖️🏅

This has been one of the main reasons I Love composites! Especially when I was in highschool! This is also the best way to deploy graphene and carbon nanotubes, at least for now! The Damping Properties Is Especially Important in Aerospace and Eventually When We Build Megastructures in space! You Could Literally Design a Megastructure with All those Composites with Careful Placement, Giving You a Range of All The Properties You Need Spread Out, and with Other Properties Arranged in Different Configurations for Truly Incredible Abilities! I Had thought of those Honey Comb Stuctures, but Writ Large, and Everything Covered In either a Graphene Concrete Mix, Or Encasing Everything in a Graphene composite of sorts, at least in a Mega Structure.
This is the best video on composite materials I have ever seen on KZhead. There was a book called The Science of Strong Materials, or Why You Don't Fall Through the Floor. It was the best book that I ever read about composites. Additionally the first most interesting introduction to composites I heard years ago was on a series called Infinite Voyage, narrated by Leonard Nimoy. Composites, for most applications, are amazingly strong for their weight.
Video link please
Thanks for this interesting video! One remark: the disadvantages mentioned for CFRPs, such as low-temperature applications or joining difficulties, have been mitigated in the past decades by using thermoplastics and more advanced polymers.
Thank you! Very helpful and interesting:)
Thank you for your incredible job! Would you like to make a video about gas dynamics, explaining in particular De Laval nozzle and the shock wave? Thank you again
The content is so freaking helpful!!! Thank uu
This was a GOOD 1!
very well explained
I understand why you are called "The Efficient Engineer". Excellent video.
I'm a brick and stone mason, learning about material science has always been a fascinating subject. There's quite literally endless combinations and geometries available, reminds me of fractals ..
Another great video. Very insightful and informative. Good work! Can you please cover psychrometry next?
Incredible work with your videos! New sub here. :) Thanks for putting this together with such great detail.
Cool, I'm looking at my epoxy and carbon fiber twill and admiring the possibilities more now. God bless.
Amazing video!
This channel literally carries me through my engineering degree.
It has been 5 years since I completed my B.Eng, and my greatest fear is that I would forget interesting topics due to lack of application in my current occupation. Your videos help serve as a quick yet effective recap of the theories I have spend months studying.
It's funny how much of this I knew from just knowing about how carbon fibers are used in sports equipment like hockey sticks. But this was a great video and I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for such a high quality video.
Díky!
Congrats on 1M!
18:20 It's mentioned that magnesium implants don't need a second removal surgery as magnesium will biodegrade. But when we use a composite containing ceramic particles in magnesium matrix as said in this video, once magnesium degrades, won't these ceramic particles (as they are not biodegradable) act as foreign contaminants (or shall I say "pollutants") in our body? These have to be removed from our body, right? How is this done? I just am fascinated by this subject, but this aspect of these implants intrigues me. Am I missing something out? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks..
More of an electrical guy, but these videos inspire my interest in mechanical engineering.
Thanks!
The "vessel" reminds me of the shape of the composite shell of a submersible... can't remember the name though :)
I love this :)
really useful content 👌
Thanks! It was very interesting and visually pleasing!
Love your videos😍🔥. Make the next one on Metamaterials😇.
Great Video.
THANKS
you should do another video about metamaterials developed through 3D printing!!
This is an excellent video about Composite materials, I hope you show a video about Functionally Graded Materials FGMs Beast Regards
so exciting
You are great sir 😊👍💛🌟🔥🙌 ...
How is this video free?? I love it
thank you very much and the simulations and animations are so good .please i wanna to know which programe you use for making these 3d animations
I'm still waiting for some control or vehicle topics. Please mate, you can do it! It will be awesome!
Importantly composites are super hard to recycle making a powerful material that should be used considerately
Superb
Need a video on Computation Fluid Dynamics
great video, but im finding the volume jumps around a lot
i love the video , it summarize a lot. And I love the animation. If you please tell me how you did it :D or what software or app did you use ? I need to make a presentation as cool as this for my dissertation ^_^
After a long wait
Please try to make a lot vedios Your vedios are amazing
