Description
Toughened Composites : Micro and Macro Systems, Hardcover by Bandyopadhyay, Sri (EDT); Gujjala, Raghavendra (EDT), ISBN 0367353075, ISBN-13 9780367353070, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "This book covers micro and macro aspects of toughened composites covering polymer matrix, metal matrix, ceramic matrix and nanomatrix. It gives the reader understanding of composites fabrication, construction, and light weight yet high crack - resistance performance, macroscopic testing supported by microscopic bonding and debonding features, models of stress transfer, and commercial features of developing cheaper yet high quality materials. Features: Focuses on micro/macro aspects of toughening methodsand principles of composite materials. Includes all types of composites including polymer matrix, metal matrix, ceramic matrix and nanomatrix. Covers corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance as well as solubility resistance. Discusses use of recycled materials. Provides good balance of long fiber, short fiber, nanoparticle, and particulate modifiers. This book aims at Researchers and professionals in Materials Science, Composite materials, Fracture mechanics, Materials Characterization & Testing, Properties and Mechanics, Nanomaterials, Aerospace and Automotive Engineering, and Structural Engineering"--
