Progress in Durability Analysis of Composite Systems: Proceedings of the 3rd international conference DURACOSYS, Blacksburg, Virginia, 14-17 September 1997

Composite material systems are the basis for much of the natural world around us and are rapidly becoming the basis for many modern engineering components. A controlling feature for the general use of such systems is their damage tolerance, durability and reliability. The present book is a comprehensive cross section of the state of the art in the field of the durability of polymer-based, composite, and adhesive systems. As such, it is of special value to researchers concerned with the fron...
