Description
Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).The present book represents a cooperative effort, by both experimentalists and designers, to seek out the best strategies for effecting improvements in the quality and the reliability of composite materials and to widen their application.
The following topics are dealt with in minute detail: detection of initial damage, and criteria for predicting this condition; damage and fracture propagation; micro-, meso- and macro-scale analytical and numerical modeling; standardization of the collection and presentation of experimental data; and innovative experimental techniques.
