Fatigue Behaviour of Fiber Reinforced Polymers: Experiments and Simulations

Fatigue analysis of laminated, braided, woven composites and nanocomposites Critical data for long-term composites' performance

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book is organized around new experiments in and modeling of fatigue and its effects over a range of composite materials subjected to multiple mechanical and thermal stresses. An objective of the investigations discussed is to explain failure mechanisms and improve long-term loading prediction and performance. Chapters in the book are edited and refereed presentations made at the most recent ICFC5 conference, held in Nanjing, China.
