Fundamental Principles of Fiber Reinforced Composites

This is a leading basic text on advanced FR composite materials, including plastic, metal and ceramic matrix materials. An interdisciplinary approach is used with the emphasis on analytical methods for better understanding of key concepts. Many case histories, and fully worked examples illustrate concepts. Also included are current techniques for non-destructive testing, in-service monitoring, and failure analysis. More than 200 schematics, microphotographs and photographs illustrate concepts, materials and design.Ashbee, Kenneth H. is the author of 'Fundamental Principles of Fiber Reinforced Composites' with ISBN 9780877625971 and ISBN 0877625972.
