Böcker i Composite materials series-serien

Deals with the mechanics and modeling aspects of discontinuous and continuous fiber composites and familarizes with the critical and fundamental issues of material processing and transport phenomena in polymeric composites. Divided into three parts, this book also deals with the deformation science or rheology of these filled materials.

If a solid contains oriented elements in its microsctructure, e.g. fibers, the heterogeneity and asisotropy aspects create situations which form a class of problems worthy of special treatment. This book deals with such treatments with a particular emphasis on application to technological composite materials.

Divided into three parts, this book presents a general view of composites with the accent on metal - and ceramic-matrix composites, looks at the composite microstructures considered to be either optimal or reasonable in resisting a particular loading and links together fabrication, structure and properties chains.
