Multi-scale modelling of composite material systems the art of predictive damage modelling (Woodhead, 2005)
Includes bibliographical references and index
This important book focuses on the fundamental understanding of composite materials at the microscopic scale, from designing micro-structural features, to the predictive equations of the functional behaviour of the structure for a specific end-application. The papers presented discuss stress and temperature-related behavioural phenomena based on knowledge of physics of microstructure and microstructural change over time
