Hybrid and Hierarchical Composite Materials

by Chang-Soo Kim (Editor), Charles Randow (Editor), Tomoko Sano (Editor)

Overview

This book addresses a broad spectrum of areas in both hybrid materials and hierarchical composites, including recent development of processing technologies, structural designs, modern computer simulation techniques, and the relationships between the processing-structure-property-performance. Each topic is introduced at length with numerous and detailed examples and over 150 illustrations.   In addition, the authors present a method of categorizing these materials, so that representative examples of all material classes are discussed.
