Download or read book Impact Damage in Carbon Composites Effect of Microstructure written by and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The penetration damage created in carbon composites with a range of microstructures has been characterized for both quasi-static and dynamic conditions. Several quasi-static properties of the composites have also been measured. Analyses of the quasi-static penetration have been developed, which appear to present a consistent interpretation of the damage and its relation to the quasi-static properties. A preliminary numerical computation of the dynamic damage has been conducted, with encouraging results. Suggestions for microstructural modifications that should enhance the damage resistance have been made, based on the results of both the observations and analyses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The damage to carbon-carbon composites created by projectile impacts has been characterized for a range of test conditions and for several weave constructions and processing variables. A number of subsurface damage modes have been identified (on sectioned specimens) in the vicinity of the crater produced by particulate impingement. In addition, studies are underway to determine the modes of failure which occurred in the material ejected from the crater. Preliminary analyses of the primary subsurface damage modes have been undertaken to define the approach that would elucidate the microstructural dependence of the impact damage.

This book was released on 2014-04-21 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advantages of composite materials include a high specific strength and stiffness, formability, and a comparative resistance to fatigue cracking and corrosion. However, not forsaking these advantages, composite materials are prone to a wide range of defects and damage that can significantly reduce the residual strength and stiffness of a structure or result in unfavorable load paths. Emphasizing defect identification and restitution, Defects and Damage in Composite Materials and Structures explains how defects and damage in composite materials and structures impact composite component performance. Providing ready access to an extensive, descriptive list of defects and damage types, this must-have reference: Examines defect criticality in composite structures Recommends repair actions to restore structural integrity Discusses failure modes and mechanisms of composites due to defects Reviews NDI processes for finding and identifying defects in composite materials Relating defect detection methods to defect type, the author merges his experience in the field of in-service activities for composite airframe maintenance and repair with indispensable reports and articles on defects and damage in advanced composite materials from the last 50 years.

Book excerpt: Determining the intrinsic microwave properties of materials is important for a variety of applications ranging from antenna and electronic circuit design to remote sensing to electromagnetic interference mitigation. A number of methods exist for characterizing intrinsic properties of materials at microwave frequencies, including transmission lines, resonant cavities, and impedance analysis. The use of free-space measurement methods has become commonplace among microwave material characterization laboratories due to its ease of use and reasonable accuracy. While some free-space facilities exist that can characterize down to 500 MHz, the method is most useful for characterizing materials from 2 GHz through millimeter waves. This book is designed to acquaint engineers and scientists with the theory and practice of using microwave focused beam systems for free-space characterization of materials.

Download or read book Impact Behaviour of Fibre reinforced Composite Materials and Structures written by S.R. Reid and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2000-10-31 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of the early, pioneering work on the properties of composites under impact is still conceptually relevant, yet the results of many such analyses are outdated. The accuracy of these results depend specifically on the materials used (fibre, resin), interface, and method of fabrication. Development of new materials, cost effective design, and analysis and prediction of structural behaviour have all established a need for timely, wide ranging research on impact behaviour. Impact Behaviour of Fibre-Reinforced Composite Materials and Structures brings together - for the first time - state-of-the-art research from the most recent works of leading, international experts. An important new study, this book extensively investigates impact response, damage tolerance, and failure of fibre-reinforced composite materials and structure, from a number of expert viewpoints. This book explores the nature of modern polymer composites based on glass, carbon, aramid, ceramic and polymer fibres in a polymer matrix, and details various ways of analysing the impact process. Impact Behaviour of Fibre-Reinforced Composite Materials and Structures will prove itself a valuable tool for research and development engineers, structural engineers, materials scientists, designers, and students and researchers of related disciplines.
