Beschreibung:
Ramesh Talreja is Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University. He earned his Ph.D. and Doctor of Technical Sciences degrees from the Technical University of Denmark and has since contributed extensively to the fields of damage, fatigue and failure of composite materials, authoring numerous books and editing several encyclopaedic works.
Bringing together materials mechanics and modelling, this book provides a complete guide to damage mechanics of composite materials for engineers.
1. Durability assessment of composite structures; 2. Review of mechanics of composite materials; 3. Damage in composite materials; 4. Micro damage mechanics; 5. Macro damage mechanics; 6. Damage progression; 7. Damage mechanisms and fatigue-life diagrams; 8. Future directions; Index.
