📗 Libro en inglés STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND DURABILITY OF ADVANCED COMPOSITES: INNOVATIVE MODELLING METHODS AND INTELLIGENT DESIGN

Presents research from leading composite materials scientists and engineers showcasing the fundamental issues and problems that affect the development and exploitation of large composite structures.

Structural Integrity and Durability of Advanced Composites: Innovative Modelling Methods and Intelligent Design presents scientific and technological research from leading composite materials scientists and engineers that showcase the fundamental issues and practical problems that affect the development and exploitation of large composite structures.

As predicting precisely where cracks may develop in materials under stress is an age old mystery in the design and building of large-scale engineering structures, the burden of testing to provide "fracture safe design" is imperative. Readers will learn to transfer key ideas from research and development to both the design engineer and end-user of composite materials.

This comprehensive text provides the information users need to understand deformation and fracture phenomena resulting from impact, fatigue, creep, and stress corrosion cracking and how these phenomena can affect reliability, life expectancy, and the durability of structures.
