Damage and Failure of Interfaces / Edition 1

by H.P. Rossmanith

Overview

Interface problems involving materials and structures arise in most fields of engineering. They span several orders of magnitude in scale: from nanostructures in micro-electronics to macro-size structures in mining engineering. This text investigates these problems.

Editorial Reviews

Contains selected papers from a September 1997 conference, organized in sections on basics, interface degradation and delamination, thermal problems, fibrous composites, dynamics and impact, debonding and pull- out, and miscellaneous topics. Subjects include fracture mechanics of interfaces, influence of micro-voids on toughness of interfaces, reduction of stiffness characteristics of balanced laminates with intralaminar cracks, multiple fiber breaks in a fiber composite with a creeping matrix, interface roughness and sliding in ceramic matrix composites, and the bone-prosthesis interface.
