A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The purpose of aligning short fibers in a fiber-reinforced material is to improve the mechanical properties of the resulting composite. Aligning the fibers, generally in a preferred direction, allows them to contribute as much as possible to reinforcing the material. In some cases, the mechanical properties of these aligned, short-fiber composites can approach those of continuous-fiber composites, with the advantages of lower production costs and greater ease of production. Since its publication, this book has been consistently recognised as one of the most important contributions to this field.

À propos des auteurs

Dr T. D.Papathanasiou obtained his engineering diploma from the National technical University of Athens and his PhD in chemical engineering from McGill University. Between 1992 and 1997 he was Unilever Lecturer in Chemical Engineering at Imperial College, London and he is currently Associate professor at the University of South Carolina, USA.

Dr D. C. Geull received his BS in chemical engineering from Iowa State University and his MS and PhD in chemical engineering from MIT. He was then awarded a Director's Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Los Alamos National laboratory and later accepted a position as a technical staff member there.
