Produktbeschreibung

These two volumes provide a comprehensive guide and source book on the marine use of composite materials. The first volume, Fundamental Aspects, provides a rigorous development of theory. Areas covered include materials science, environmental aspects, production technology, structural analysis, finite-element methods, materials failure mechanisms and the role of standard test procedures. An appendix gives tables of the mechanical properties of common polymeric composites and laminates in marine use. The second volume, Practical Considerations, examines how the theory can be used in the design and construction of marine structures, including boats, submersibles, offshore structures and other deep-ocean installations. These volumes will provide an up-to-date comprehensive introduction and reference to this important and fast-growing area.

Table of contents:
1. A strategic overview; 2. Background to materials science; 3. Environmental aspects; 4. Production by resin transfer moulding; 5. An engineering approach to the prediction of elastic properties of a laminate; 6. Mechanics of orthotropic laminae; 7. Analysis of laminated composites; 8. Theory of sandwich beams and plates; 9. Design of anisotropic panels; 10. Finite element analysis of composites; 11. Theoretical predictions of failure mechanisms and strength; 12. Considerations of failure theories in design; 13. Test procedures and standards; Appendix.

The two volumes that form this work provide a comprehensive guide and source book on the marine use of composite materials. This first volume provides a rigorous development of theory, covering materials science, production technology, structural analysis, failure and standard test procedures.
