Today, fiber reinforced composites are in use • properties of different component (fiber, in a variety of structures, ranging from space matrix, filler) materials craft and aircraft to buildings and bridges. • manufacturing techniques This wide use of composites has been facili • analysis and design tated by the introduction of new materials, • testing improvements in manufacturing processes • mechanically fastened and bonded joints and developments of new analytical and test • repair ing methods. Unfortunately, information on • damage tolerance these topics is scattered in journal articles, in • environmental effects conference and symposium proceedings, in and disposal • health, safety, reuse, workshop notes, and in government and com • applications in: pany reports. This proliferation of the source - aircraft and spacecraft material, coupled with the fact that some of - land transportation the relevant publications are hard to find or - marine environments are restricted, makes it difficult to identify and - biotechnology obtain the up-to-date knowledge needed to - construction and infrastructure utilize composites to their full advantage. - sporting goods. This book intends to overcome these diffi Each chapter, written by a recognized expert, culties by presenting, in a single volume, is self-contained, and contains many of the many of the recent advances in the field of 'state-of-the-art' techniques reqUired for prac composite materials. The main focus of this tical applications of composites.
