Mechanical Behavior of Organic Matrix Composites: Effect of Thermo-oxidative Ageing (Materials Science: Durability and Ageing of Organic Composite Materials Book 2)

The book focuses on the effect of ageing (thermo-oxidation, humid ageing) on the mechanical properties of organic matrix composite materials, covering:Bibliographic issues and a detailed state-of-the-art; phenomenological and experimental issues; modelling issues and models parameter identification; illustration and interpretation of experimental tests and proposal for novel test design in the light of the model predictions.
