Book excerpt: The purpose of this wide-ranging introductory text is to provide a basic understanding of the underlying science as well as the engineering applications of composite materials. It explains how composite materials, with their advantages of high strength with stiffness, together with low weight and other desirable properties are formed and discusses the nature of the different types of reinforcement and matrix – and their interaction. Methods of production, examples of typical applications and essential data are all included.Composite materials: Engineering and science is based on a successful long running course at Imperial College, London, and the numerous worked examples combined with a comprehensive set of problems and self-assessment questions (with answers) provide an excellent text for senio undergraduate and graduate courses in materials science, engineering and physics. It will also be invaluable to any designer or professional engineer new to the composite materials field.This is a reissue of a successful and well-regarded textbook originally published in 1994 by Chapman & Hall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Véritable ouvrage de référence, Matériaux composites apporte l’ensemble des concepts théoriques et pratiques nécessaires à la compréhension du comportement mécanique des matériaux et structures composites. Ainsi, il permet d’établir une synthèse de l’analyse du comportement mécanique et de la théorie des plaques stratifiées ou sandwiches, et d’en appliquer les développements à la résolution des problèmes de flexion, de flambement et de vibrations. Composé de cinq parties, ce traité repose sur une approche fondamentale et unifiée aboutissant à une continuité des concepts et des théories. Illustrée de nombreux exercices d’application des concepts introduits, cette cinquième édition entièrement en couleurs a été actualisée et des commentaires ont été ajoutés afin de mettre en évidence la progression du traité. Après une présentation de la constitution puis de la mise en œuvre des matériaux composites, l’ouvrage développe progressivement les outils nécessaires pour modéliser le comportement mécanique des structures en matériaux composites stratifiés et sandwiches. Il aborde ensuite les problèmes de dimensionnement des structures, montrant comment les outils introduits permettent de modéliser le comportement mécanique des structures en matériaux composites. Le contenu et la progression de Matériaux composites ont été conçus avec pour objectifs principaux : – traiter le matériau composite comme un matériau traditionnel ; – intégrer l’apport des techniques numériques dans la résolution des problèmes de dimensionnement des structures ; – aborder les difficultés de manière progressive afin de faciliter l’accès du lecteur aux divers concepts introduits ; – confronter la modélisation avec le comportement réel des matériaux et des structures. Complet et didactique, cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants de 2e et 3e cycles, aux ingénieurs, aux chercheurs ainsi qu’aux techniciens supérieurs

Download or read book Composite Materials written by Daniel Gay and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2002-12-26 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composite materials have grown rapidly both in their applications and their economic importance, and they will no doubt continue to do so. With this growth has come increased attention in engineering curricula, but most coursework tends to focus on laminate theory and the analysis of composites, not on the practical design aspects most important to engineers. Composite Materials: Design and Applications fills that gap. Updated and translated from the successful French text Materiaux Composites, it offers comprehensive coverage of composites and their use in a broad range of applications. Part I provides a detailed introduction to composite materials, including fabrication processes, properties, design concepts, assembly, and applications. This section could also be used by itself in a course on advanced materials. Part II discusses elastic anisotopic properties, the directional dependence of different properties, and the mechanical properties of thin laminates. Alone, this section is suitable for a course on the mechanics of composite materials. Part III addresses the orthotropic coefficients needed for design activities, the Hill-Tsai failure criterion, the bending and torsion of composite beams, and the bending of thick composite plates. While somewhat more theoretical than the preceding chapters, it helps students better understand the behavior of composite parts. Part IV contains 41 detailed, numerical examples illustrating the design and use of composites. These are presented on three levels and cover the mechanical properties of composite structures in different forms, thermoelastic properties and failure analysis and the bonding of cylinders, sandwich beam buckling and flexure shear, and vibrations in composite plates. Clearly written and filled with more than 500 illustrations, Composite Materials: Design and Applications forms an outstanding textbook for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate-level course work-one that can make a significant contribution to the training of future engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced composite materials or high performance polymer composites are an unusual class of materials that possess a combination of high strength and modulus and are substantially superior to structural metals and alloys on an equal weight basis. The book provides an overview of the key components that are considered in the design of a composite, of surface chemistry, of analyses/testing, of structure/property relationships with emphasis on compressive strength and damage tolerance. Newly emerging tests, particularly open hole compression tests are expected to provide greater assurance of composite performance. This publication is an "up-to-date" treatment of leading edge areas of composite technology with literature reviewed until recently and includes thermoplastic prepregs/composites and major application areas.
