Composites Science Technology and Engineering

Understand critical principles of composites such as design of durable structures choice of fibre matrix manufacturing process and mechanics with this interdisciplinary text. The book features up-to-date coverage of hybrids of fibres and particles and explanation of failure criteria and includes a comprehensive discussion on choice of fibres matrices manufacturing technology and micromechanics for durable composite structures. It provides the structure and properties of reinforcing fibres particulates and matrices together with a discussion of fracture mechanics. This is an essential guide for scientists and engineers wishing to discover the benefits of composite materials for designing strong and durable structures.
