Springer FRP Composites in Ballistic Protection - Engineering Book

Explore the advanced science of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites through this specialized engineering text from Springer. This book provides a deep look into the microstructural and micromechanical aspects of FRPs, specifically focusing on how these materials behave under different conditions. As FRPs are increasingly used for supercritical applications, understanding their performance is vital. This resource analyzes the material across a spectrum of low to high strain rates. It covers essential topics such as constitutive modeling and the shock properties of polymeric composites. Readers will find detailed discussions on data processing techniques and the theories required for various characterization methods. By examining failure criteria and previous research findings, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for those studying the potential and promises of polymer composites in ballistic protection and high-performance engineering.
