stiffness is predicted, and they are mechanically tested for stiffness. A number ofparameters are discussed and used, such as geometry and volume fraction. However, the effectand importance of these parameters on mechanical behavior can be hard to grasp. Hand analysisis cumbersome, and may not be friendly to relational analysis.Modeling can address these issues by allowing the student to readily change material anddimensional parameters to observe their consequences on mechanical behavior. This approachhas been successfully used in other MET Program courses such Mechanics of Materials andTechnical Dynamics. Examples include the effect of length on the moment of a cantilever beamand the effect of various beam shapes on mechanical behavior.This study
