Editorial Reviews

Contains papers from a July 1999 conference, related to damage initiation and development, failure criteria, and specific aspects related to fatigue, creep behavior, moisture diffusion, temperature variations, and design elements. Experimental aspects and nondestructive techniques are also discussed. Specific topics include fatigue behavior of single lap adhesive composite joints, aging and long-term behavior of composite tubes, durability of reinforced concrete beams repaired by composites under creep and fatigue loading, and creep and stress relaxation of composite cylinders. Cardon is affiliated with Free University, Brussels, Belgium. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
