Synopsis

Focusing on fundamentals while presenting more advanced topics, this introductory text, by presenting basic analytic and design principles, offers the knowledge required to effectively design structures, using advanced composite materials. It examines material forms, properties and manufacturing techniques. The book aims to offer balanced coverage between experimental results for materials characterization and the analysis necessary and useful for design purposes. It also provides a study of failure of laminates, delamination, matrix cracking, and durability. Also included is an in-depth analysis of fibre composite beams, which demonstrates how to combine the necessary aspects of lamination theory with traditional principles of mechanics of materials to achieve a design and analysis methodology.
