Interlaminar shear failure in composites.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.Composite Interfaces in Mechanical Design provides fundamental details on the science and engineering of interfaces in fibre reinforced polymer composites. The book takes a broad approach to understanding the role of the interface on the mechanical performance of composite materials by considering core interface disciplines such as adhesion, morphology and chemistry, alongside methods for mechanical characterisation through standardised testing and imaging. This is the first book to focus on composite interfaces in mechanical design. This book is suitable for undergraduate students in tertiary education and research scientists in academia and industry.Composites scientists and engineers in academia and industry.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Dr. Parvez Alam is a Reader in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Edinburgh.
