This exceptionally user-friendly guide has been written for engineers, designers and managers who are considering using reinforced plastics in applications\u003cbr\u003ewhere a long product life is essential, including buildings, bridges, boats, tanks, pipes and swimming pools.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is clearly written and easily accessible to those with no background in composite science, although detailed references are provided for those wishing to pursue any area in more depth. After introducing the key concepts, there are chapters focusing on the effects of outdoor weathering, solvent and water attack, high temperature and repetitive stress. Experience with specific applications over time is discussed, and repair is considered. The use of computer techniques in predicting durability is outlined and there are some case histories.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAn introduction to plastics for non-specialists\u003cbr\u003e Fabrication, inspection and durability\u003cbr\u003e Durability of reinforced plastics in liquid environments\u003cbr\u003e Temperature – its effect on the durability of reinforced plastics\u003cbr\u003e Cyclic mechanical loading\u003cbr\u003e Weathering\u003cbr\u003e Review of the durability of marine laminates\u003cbr\u003e Survey of long term durability of fiberglass reinforced plastics tanks and pipes\u003cbr\u003e Epoxyvinylester and other resins in chemical process equipment\u003cbr\u003e Repairs using fibre reinforced plastics\u003cbr\u003e Fatigue performance: The role of the interphase\u003cbr\u003e Computer models for predicting durability.\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], 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":46651769422104,"sku":"9781855733206","price":123.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781855733206.jpg?v=1695016683","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/reinforced-plastics-durability-hardback-9781855733206","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
