Fractography is the study of fracture surface morphologies and it gives an insight into damage and failure mechanisms, underpinning the development of physically-based failure criteria. In composites research it provides a crucial link between predictive models and experimental observations. Finally, it is vital for post-mortem analysis of failed or crashed polymer composite components, the findings of which can be used to optimise future designs.Failure analysis and fractography of polymer composites covers the following topics: methodology and tools for failure analysis; fibre-dominated failures; delamination-dominated failures; fatigue failures; the influence of fibre architecture on failure; types of defect and damage; case studies of failures due to overload and design deficiencies; case studies of failures due to material and manufacturing defects; and case studies of failures due to in-service factors.With its distinguished author, Failure analysis and fractography of polymer composites is a standard reference text for researchers working on damage and failure mechanisms in composites, engineers characterising manufacturing and in-service defects in composite structures, and investigators undertaking post-mortem failure analysis of components. The book is aimed at both academic and industrial users, specifically final year and postgraduate engineering and materials students researching composites and industry designers and engineers in aerospace, civil, marine, power and transport applications.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction to failure analysis and fractography of polymer composites\u003cbr\u003e Methodology and tools for failure analysis of polymer composites\u003cbr\u003e Fibre-dominated failures in polymer composites\u003cbr\u003e Delamination-dominated failures in polymer composites\u003cbr\u003e Fatigue failures of polymer composites\u003cbr\u003e The influence of fibre architecture in the failure of polymer composites\u003cbr\u003e Defects and damage and their role in the failure of polymer composites\u003cbr\u003e Case studies: Failures of polymer composites due to overload and design deficiencies\u003cbr\u003e Case studies: Failures of polymer composites due to material and manufacturing defects\u003cbr\u003e Case studies: Failures of polymer composites due to in-service factors.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Plastics \u0026amp; polymers technology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Plastics \u0026amp; polymers technology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Plastics%20\u0026amp;%20polymers%20technology%20%5BTDCP%5D%22\"\u003eTDCP\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":46648692932888,"sku":"9781845692179","price":140.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781845692179_d6cb555f-207d-48fc-bdfe-bbc2016faaab.jpg?v=1696411777","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/failure-analysis-and-fractography-of-polymer-composites-hardback-9781845692179","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
