In recent years significant progress has been made in many areas of polymer blend and polymer matrix composite science and technology. This volume comprises a selection of refereed papers which cover the state-of-the-art, and predict future trends in polymer blend and composite research; including established, as well as innovative, applications and new directions for these novel materials. The contents are grouped into five sections: theoretical and experimental studies of manufacturing processes; structure-property relationships; damage mechanics and characterization; fracture and fatigue; and toughening and strengthening mechanisms. The articles present detailed results and new findings concerning these topics. Alltogether they present an authoritative view of recent research in the important fields of polymer blend and composite use. 1. Processing and Manufacturing. 2. Structure-Property Relationships. 3. Damage Mechanics and Characterization. 4. Fracture and Fatigue. 5. Toughening and Strengthening Mechanisms.

The authors and their colleagues developed this text over many years, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in structural analysis courses at the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology. The emphasis is on clarity and unity in the presentation of basic structural analysis concepts and methods. The equations of linear elasticity and basic constitutive behaviour of isotropic and composite materials are reviewed. The text focuses on the analysis of practical structural components including bars, beams and plates. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of thin-walled beams under bending shearing and torsion. Advanced topics such as ...
Presents investigations into fatigue in composite materials and structures. Sections include: research into aspects of fatigue modeling including prediction of fatigue life, fatigue strength and fatigue crack growth rate; experimental characterization of fatigue in composites, and discussing fatigue behavior of fullscale composite structures.
