This report is written in order to use it as lecture notes in the course “Advanced materials” given at Narvik University College for master students in the field of Engineering Design. In the course the students will be familiar with different kind of advanced materials and structures such as for instance smart materials, functional gradient materials, polymers and plastics, nano-materials, elastomers and rubbers, biopolymers, cellular solids and structures, and different types of composite materials, which can be found in Part 1 of this report. In Part 2, the fabrication-processes of different advanced materials, structures and forms is described. The different types of sandwich constructions included the design of such structures are subjects that are discussed in Part 3, while in Part 4 we will have a closer look at mechanics and effective properties of composite structures and honeycombs.This report may also be used as literature for students studying mechanical engineering, material science, production engineering. We assume that the reader has a bachelor degree in Engineering.
