This book presents a unified approach to fracture behavior of
natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer composites on the
basis of fiber orientation, the addition of fillers,
characterization, properties and applications. In addition, the
book contains an extensive survey of recent improvements in the
research and development of fracture analysis of FRP composites
that are used to make higher fracture toughness composites in
various applications.The FRP composites are an emerging area in
polymer science with many structural applications. The rise in
materials failure by fracture has forced scientists and researchers
to develop new higher strength materials for obtaining higher
fracture toughness. Therefore, further knowledge and insight into
the different modes of fracture behavior of FRP composites are
critical to expanding the range of their application.

This book is a practical and intermediate level handbook written to
describe acoustic emission technique, focusing on the results
obtained from different kinds of materials through an engineering
point of view. Internal structural modifications of materials such
as dislocation motion, plastic deformation, grain boundary sliding
or crack propagation are connected to the production of acoustic
waves. The possibility of detecting these low amplitude waves,
which are known as acoustic emissions, in order to prevent failure
represents an interesting and very promising approach that has been
applied in several engineering fields. The possibility to monitor
the whole history of materials without scanning and accessing from
one side only is a great advantage connected with this method,
especially if compared or even combined with other traditional
techniques. Focus on Acoustic Emission Research offers the reader
the information needed to understand the basic principle of the
acoustic emission phenomenon and to provide updated information
about results obtained for different kinds of materials and
large-sized structures. Each chapter, written by invited experts,
follows a focused and practical arrangement with subsections
describing the measurement principle, the experimental procedures,
the results and references. The reader of the book will benefit by
the significant hands-on experience that each author transfers into
their respective chapter. The volume illustrated provides, in fact,
a practical approach to acoustic emission that makes this volume
attractive to industrial experts, academic researchers and
students.
