Over the last three decades, the evolution of techniques for the
experimental testing of composite materials has struggled to keep
up with the advances and broadening areas of application of the
composite materials themselves. In recent years, however, much work
has been done to consolidate and better understand the test methods
being used. Finally, a consensus regarding the best available
methods exists, and definitive recommendations can be made.
Experimental Characterization of Advanced Composite Materials
provides a succinct, authoritative treatment of the best available
methods for determining the mechanical properties, thermal
expansion coefficients, and fracture and strength data for
composite materials. With an emphasis firmly on practical matters,
it presents processing techniques, specimen preparation, analyses
of test methods, test procedures, and data reduction schemes. Five
chapters covering specific aspects of lamina testing are followed
by discussions extending those principles to laminate responses.
The treatment concludes by exploring composite durability issues
with a detailed examination of defects and fracture mechanics. The
Fourth Edition is revised to include: New figures, updated ASTM
standards, and an expanded index Major additions in processing of
thermoset resins, neat resin tests, sandwich structures, cure
analyses, damage tolerance tests, single fiber tests, fiber matrix
interface tests, interlaminar tension tests, through-thickness
tension and compression tests, open-hole compression tests, falling
weight impact tests, compression-after-impact tests, sandwich beam
and core tests, and more With its concise format, detailed
procedures, and expert assessments, this book is an outstanding
resource for composites manufacturing and test engineers, lab
technicians, and other industry professionals, as well as students,
academia, and government research and engineering organizations. It
brings together all of the most appropriate and widely accepted
test methods developed to date.
