9780849308451: Mechanical Testing of Advanced Fibre Composites

Synopsis

To design a structure or component one must carefully consider the intimate relationship between how the component is supposed to perform and the properties of the material from which it is made. This can be a tricky balancing act, even with isotropic, homogeneous materials.

By their very nature, composite materials can present complex problems in the testing of their structural performance. Focusing on composites of advanced fibres in a plastic matrix, Mechanical Testing of Advanced Fibre Composites provides the background and general principles to tackle such problems. Expert contributors examine how these materials react to all types of loading, including tensile, compressive, shear, short- or long-term, and in various environments that might significantly modify their behavior. They explore sample preparation for testing, address tensile, flexural, compression, shear, impact, and out-of-plane testing, and discuss fatigue and fracture mechanics.

Bringing together a wide range of test methods applicable across the spectrum of composite materials, Mechanical Testing of Advanced Fibre Composites forms a practical handbook full of expert analysis. Materials scientists, engineers, and designers will all find it a valuable tool in understanding and using composites in creating structures that perform within their design requirements.
