Composite Interfaces in Mechanical Design (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Composite Interfaces in Mechanical Design provides fundamental details on the science and engineering of interfaces in fibre reinforced polymer composites. The book takes a broad approach to understanding the role of the interface on the mechanical performance of composite materials by considering core interface disciplines such as adhesion, morphology and chemistry, alongside methods for mechanical characterisation through standardised testing and imaging. This is the first book to focus on composite interfaces in mechanical design.This book is suitable for undergraduate students in tertiary education and research scientists in academia and industry.Key FeaturesProvides a coherent and accessible guide for anyone studying composites at any level of mechanical designBrings together the most essential information on interfaces with a direct and specific relevance to the mechanical design of advanced composite materialsEnables the reader to connect the dots between different aspects of composite interfaces that are usually covered individuallyActs as a valuable reference for researchers and accompanies postgraduate courses on composites Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
