This important book focuses on the fundamental understanding of composite materials at the microscopic scale, from designing micro-structural features, to the predictive equations of the functional behaviour of the structure for a specific end-application. The papers presented discuss stress and temperature-related behavioural phenomena based on knowledge of physics of microstructure and microstructural change over time.
Key Features: extensive coverage of this important and exciting area of composites research; understand how composites behave in different circumstances; compiled by an expert panel of authors and editors.
Contents: Molecular modelling of composite matrix properties; Interfacial damage modelling of composites; Multi-scale predictive modelling of cracking in laminate composites; Modelling the strength of fibre-reinforced composites; Cracking models; Multi-scale modelling of cracking in cross-ply laminates; Modelling damage in laminate composites; Progressive multi-scale modelling of composite laminates; Predicting fracture of laminate composites; Modelling the compressive response behaviour of monolithic and sandwich composite structures; Modelling composite reinforcement by stitching and z-pinning; Finite element modelling of brittle matrix composites; Wear modelling of polymer composites; Modelling impact damage in composite structural elements; Modelling structural damage using elastic wave-based techniques; Modelling the fatigue behaviour of bonded joints in composite materials.

Professor Costas Soutis is Head of Aerospace Engineering at The University of Sheffield. Dr Peter Beaumont is Reader in Engineering at the University of Cambridge. Both have international reputations for their research on composites behaviour.
One of the most important and exciting areas of composites
research is the development of modelling techniques to predict the response
of composite materials to different types of stress. Predictive modelling
provides the opportunity both to understand better how composites behave in
different conditions and to develop materials with enhanced performance for
particular industrial applications. Multi-scale modelling of composite
material systems summarises the key research in this area and its
implications for industry.
The book covers modelling approaches ranging from the micron to the metre
in scale, and from the single fibre to complete composite structures.
Individual chapters discuss a variety of material types from laminates and
fibre-reinforced composites to monolithic and sandwich composites. They
also analyse a range of types of stress and stress response from fracture
and impact to wear and fatigue. Authors also discuss the strengths and
weaknesses of particular models.
With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors,
Multi-scale modelling of composite material systems is a standard reference
for both academics and manufacturers in such areas as aerospace, automotive
and civil engineering.
