{"product_id":"9781845694821","title":"Delamination Behaviour of Composites","description":"Given such advantages as low weight compared to strength and toughness, laminated composites are now used in a wide range of applications. Their increasing use has underlined the need to understand their principal mode of failure, delamination. This important book reviews key research in understanding and preventing delamination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book reviews general issues such as the role of fracture mechanics in understanding delamination, design issues and ways of testing delamination resistance. Part two describes techniques for detecting and characterising delamination such as piezoelectric sensors, the use of lamb waves and acoustic emission techniques. The next two sections of the book discuss ways of studying and modelling delamination behaviour. The final part of the book reviews research on delamination behaviour in particular conditions such as shell and sandwich structures, z-pin bridging and resin bonding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Delamination behaviour of composites is a standard reference for all those researching laminated composites and using them in such diverse applications as microelectronics, aerospace, marine, automotive and civil engineering.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReviews the role of fracture mechanics in understanding delamination, design issues and ways of testing delamination resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscuss ways of studying and modelling delamination behaviour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA standard reference for all those researching laminated composites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152878944496,"sku":"9781845694821","price":340.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781845694821_p0.jpg?v=1763744609","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781845694821","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
