{"product_id":"9781783266197","title":"WOVEN COMPOSITES","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis unique volume presents the latest developments in the field of advanced woven and braided textile composites, with particular emphasis on computational approaches (finite elements, meshfree). Advanced textile composites such as woven, braided, knitted and stitched fabrics are increasingly being used as structural materials in industrial applications due to their efficiency at reinforcing more directions within a single layer and their ability to conform to surfaces with complex curvatures. Furthermore, textile composites provide improved impact resistance, exceptional thermal, fatigue and corrosion resistance, as well as being easier and cheaper to handle and fabricate compared to UD composites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics covered in this book include: 2D and 3D plain, twill, satin woven and braided composites, micro-level and macro-level modelling, failure mechanisms, theoretical studies on cryogenic crack behaviour and the specific deformation modes of textile reinforcements, which include the kinematic and hypoelastic models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be particularly relevant to professional engineers, graduate students and researchers interested in composite materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicromechanical Modelling of Textile Composites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Response and Failure of 2D Woven Composites Under Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom a Virtual Textile to a Virtual Woven Composite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelling 3D Woven Composite Preform Deformations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCryomechanics and Crack Behaviour of Woven Polymer Matrix Composites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffects of Fabrication Processes and Nanoclay Inclusion on the Performance of Woven Carbon\/Epoxy Composite Laminates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTextile Composite Forming Simulations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Engineers, graduate students and researchers interested in composite materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains up-to-date content on woven composite materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOnly book at present dedicated to woven composites that exists today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140000334064,"sku":"9781783266197","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781783266197_p0.jpg?v=1763725543","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781783266197","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
