Composite Interfaces in Mechanical Design (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Composite 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.

Divided into nine chapters, the first introduces key concepts related to fibre-matrix interfaces, delamination, and strain energy release. The second discusses the chemical characterisation of fibre interfaces, while the third chapter considers the different mechanisms of adhesion. The strength of adhesion at interfaces affects the formation of interphases, which is explored in the fourth chapter. Chapter five describes surface treatments to fibre interfaces and their effects on mechanical performance. Chapter six continues the discussion on mechanical performance, in relation to fibre morphology. Chapter seven covers macro- and micro-scale test methods to mechanical characterise the interface, while the eighth chapter details the measurement and interpretation of viscoelasticity. The final chapter discusses failure and fracture in composites, highlighting the role of the interface under different modes of loading.

This book is suitable for undergraduate students in tertiary education and research scientists in academia and industry.
