Creep and Fatigue in Polymer Matrix Composites, Second Edition, updates the latest research in modeling and predicting creep and fatigue in polymer matrix composites. The first part of the book reviews the modeling of viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior as a way of predicting performance and service life. Final sections discuss techniques for modeling creep rupture and failure and how to test and predict long-term creep and fatigue in polymer matrix composites.

promoMetaData.reviewQuotes

"This book would appeal to the material scientist, polymer chemist, and structural engineers who want to learn about the latest information for testing and modeling the creep and fatigue properties of various composite polymeric materials used for structural applications. It contains background on fundamentals to orient a beginner in this area and advanced modeling information with theory and experimental results to satisfy in-depth detail desired by more experienced readers in this area of research.

This book would be useful for material scientists, polymer engineers, and anyone interested in learning about adhesive joining technology. The book would be a good primer for learning about adhesive joining technology and the critical factors that determine good adhesive joints." —IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine
