Riassunto

Emphasizing polymer based fiber-reinforced composites, this book is designed to provide readers with a significant understanding of the complexities involved in characterizing dynamic events and the corresponding response of advanced fiber composite materials and structures. These elements include dynamic loading devices, material properties characterization, analytical and experimental techniques to assess the damage and failure modes associated with various dynamic loading events. Concluding remarks are presented throughout the text which summarize key points and raise issues related to important research needed.

Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

The behavior of composite materials under dynamic loads is an important issue in practical engineering, essential for any work involving fiber-composite materials and structures. But to date, no book has focused solely on this complex topic. Now seasoned engineering professionals Robert L. Sierakowski and Shive K. Chaturvedi fill this serious gap in the engineering literature with a comprehensive and systematic treatment of the properties and dynamic loadings of fiber-reinforced composites. This well-organized volume begins with a breakdown of the dynamic properties of composites and a complete look at various testing methods and data derived from each technique. Next is a discussion of wave motion in fiber-reinforced composites, including an investigation of effective modulus theory, an examination of wave motions in composite plates under impact loading, and a series of experimental studies conducted on inspected composite plates. The book then discusses non-destructive testing, including the applications and limitations of currently available non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques, and covers a variety of factors that affect the damage tolerance of composites. Important information on impact damage modeling, along with a classification of model types, is also presented. This unique resource makes available for the first time a broad knowledge base in current design, characterization, and testing practice, and provides a solid foundation for future research. It will be welcomed by aspiring and practicing materials scientists and aerospace, automotive, and structural engineers.
