OverviewComposite Interfaces in Mechanical Design provides fundamental details on the science and engineering of interfaces in fibre reinforced polymer composites. The book takes a broad approach to understanding the role of the interface on the mechanical performance of composite materials by considering core interface disciplines such as adhesion, morphology and chemistry, alongside methods for mechanical characterisation through standardised testing and imaging. This is the first book to focus on composite interfaces in mechanical design. This book is suitable for undergraduate students in tertiary education and research scientists in academia and industry. Key Features Provides a coherent and accessible guide for anyone studying composites at any level of mechanical design Brings together the most essential information on interfaces with a direct and specific relevance to the mechanical design of advanced composite materials Enables the reader to connect the dots between different aspects of composite interfaces that are usually covered individually Acts as a valuable reference for researchers and accompanies postgraduate courses on composites Full Product DetailsAuthor: Dr Parvez Alam (University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom))Publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing Imprint: Institute of Physics Publishing ISBN: 9780750356862ISBN 10: 0750356863 Pages: 186 Publication Date: 23 October 2024 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print ![]() This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
