Overview

A study of the impact behaviour of fibre-reinforced composite materials and structures. It brings together the research of international experts, investigating impact response, damage tolerance, and failure of fibre-reinforced composite materials and structure from a number of viewpoints. The text explores the nature of modern polymer composites based on glass, carbon, aramid, ceramic and polymer fibres in a polymer matrix, and details various ways of analyzing the impact process. It discusses CFRP laminate plates, GFRP plates, and composite sandwich panels, and addresses both high- and low-velocity impacts.
