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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComposite 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a reissue of a successful and well-regarded textbook originally published in 1994 by Chapman \u0026amp; Hall.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eReinforcements and the reinforcement-matrix interface\u003cbr\u003e Composites with metallic matrices\u003cbr\u003e Ceramic matrix composites\u003cbr\u003e Polymer matrix composites\u003cbr\u003e Stiffness, strength and related topics\u003cbr\u003e Stiffness of unidirectional composites and laminates\u003cbr\u003e Micromechanics of unidirectional composites\u003cbr\u003e Strength of unidirectional composites and laminates\u003cbr\u003e Short fibre composites\u003cbr\u003e Fracture mechanics and toughening mechanisms\u003cbr\u003e Impact resistance\u003cbr\u003e Fatigue and environmental effects\u003cbr\u003e Joining\u003cbr\u003e Non-destructive testing.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Materials science [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Materials science\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Materials%20science%20%5BTGM%5D%22\"\u003eTGM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Woodhead Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46648333959448,"sku":"9781855734739","price":52.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781855734739_d12f6361-81cd-4c3d-a46c-dc17518e7235.jpg?v=1696403786","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/composite-materials-engineering-and-science-paperback-9781855734739","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
