Based on research papers presented in July 2012 at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, the ninth book in the Canada-Japan Composites Workshop series contains 43 chapters on new ways of fabricating FRP, ceramic, wood, and natural fiber composites and improving their functionality in aerospace, wind energy and civil engineering. Selected subjects covered include: bolted joints, ballistics, recycled matrix materials, pipes, structural health sensing, self-welding, vibration damping, EM shielding, sandwich panels, optical fibers and more. It includes: Effect of Hot-Press Pressure on Mechanical Properties of Unidirectional Jute Spun Yarn Reinforced PLA1; Evaluation of Thin Titanium Films-CFRP Fiber Metal Laminates for Composite Bolted Joints; Evaluation of Fiber/Matrix Interfacial Debonding Behavior Using a Partially Embedded Single Fiber; and, Temperature Effect on Delamination Detection Method in CFRP Laminates Using Mode Conversions of Lamb Waves.
