Composites science, technology, and engineering
(Book - Regular Print)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Understand critical principles of composites, such as design of durable structures, choice of fibre, matrix, manufacturing process and mechanics with this interdisciplinary text. Features up-to-date coverage of hybrids of fibres and particles and explanation of failure criteria. Includes a comprehensive discussion on choice of fibres, matrices, manufacturing technology and micromechanics for durable composite structures. Provides the structure and properties of reinforcing fibres, particulates and matrices together with a discussion of fracture mechanics. This is an essential guide for scientists and engineers wishing to discover the benefits of composite materials for designing strong and durable structures"--,Provided by publisher.
