Description
Bringing together materials mechanics and modelling, this book provides a complete guide to damage mechanics of composite materials for engineers.
About the Author
Ramesh Talreja is Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University. He earned his Ph.D. and Doctor of Technical Sciences degrees from the Technical University of Denmark and has since contributed extensively to the fields of damage, fatigue and failure of composite materials, authoring numerous books and editing several encyclopaedic works. Chandra Veer Singh is an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Toronto. He earned his PhD degree in aerospace engineering from Texas A&M University and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell University. His research expertise is in damage mechanics of composite materials, atomistic modeling and computational materials science. His industry experience includes R&D at GE Aircraft Engines.
Reviews
'... a welcome addition to the literature. Numerous books treat separately the mechanics of composites and failure of materials: very few combine them together and in such a coherent and comprehensive manner.' Ettore Barbiei, The Aeronautical Journal
