Description

Polymer matrix composites are increasingly replacing traditional materials, such as metals, for applications in the aerospace, automotive and marine industries. This important book explores the main types of composite failure and examines their implications in specific applications. Part one discusses various failure mechanisms, including manufacturing defects, and addresses a variety of loading forms, such as impact and the implications for structural integrity. Testing techniques and modelling methods for predicting potential failure in composites are also reviewed. Part two investigates the effects of polymer-matrix composite failure in a range of industries and looks at recycling issues and environmental factors affecting the use of composite materials. Key Features: discusses various failure mechanisms, including manufacturing defects; reviews testing techniques and modelling methods for predicting potential failure; investigates failure in aerospace, automotive, defence, marine and off-shore applications; considers recycling and environmental aspects affecting the use of composite materials. Contents: Part 1 Failure mechanisms: Progress in failure criteria for polymer matrix composites: A view from the first World-Wide failure exercise (WWFE); Manufacturing defects as a cause of failure in polymer matrix composites; Low and medium velocity impact as a cause of failure in polymer matrix composites; Structural integrity of polymer matrix composite panels in fire; Testing the toughness of polymer matrix composites; Testing the strength and stiffness of polymer matrix composites; Fibre-dominated compressive failure in polymer matrix composites. Part 2 Failure mechanisms in specific applications: Considerations of failure mechanisms in polymer matrix composites in the design of aerospace structures; Failure of polymer matrix composites in defence applications; Failure of polymer matrix composites in marine and off-shore applications; Recycling issues in polymer matrix composites; Failure of polymer matrix composites in automotive and transportation applications; Environmental induced failure in fibre-reinforced plastics.
