Book description
Fatigue of Textile Composites provides a current, state-of-art review on recent investigations on the fatigue behavior of composite materials, mainly those reinforced with textiles.
As this particular group of composite materials is extremely important for a wide variety of industrial applications, including automotive, aeronautical, and marine, etc., mainly due to their peculiarities and advantages with respect to unidirectional laminated composites, the text presents comprehensive information on the huge variety of interlacement geometric architectures that are suitable for a broad range of different applications, their excellent drapability and versatility, which is highly important for complex double-curvature shape components and three-dimensional woven fabrics without plane reinforcement, and their main mechanical characteristics which are currently in high demand from industry.
- Presents the current state-of-the-art investigations on fatigue behavior of composite materials, mainly those reinforced with textiles
- Contains invaluable information pertaining to a wide variety of industries, including automotive, aeronautical, and marine, amongst others
- Provides comprehensive information on the huge variety of interlacement geometric architectures that are suitable for a broad range of different applications
