Impact Behavior of Fibre Reinforced Laminates

^ This highly informative and carefully presented volume highlights the impact behavior of fibre reinforced polymer composites. It begins with a preliminary focus on FRP materials, fabrication processes, micro- and macro- mechanics to calculate FRP laminates properties, damage nodes associated with FRP composites under different loadings. It provides a simple and unified approach to cover aspects of FRP composites behavior with low velocity impact loading. This book offers a valuable guide for those who wish to develop deeper insights into weaving architectures, stacking sequences, fabrication processes, general damage modes associated with FRP composites. It is a useful volume for students, academia and industry alike.^

Focuses on formulas used to calculate the micro and macro properties of the lamina as well as laminate Provides a brief overview and most common mechanical testing associated with FRP materials Simple schematic illustrations are used to increase understanding of topics
