Fracture of Composites

Edited by: E. Armanios

Online since: May 1996

Description: The potential of composites cannot be fully realized unless their fracture modes and failure mechanisms are fully understood, and appropriate design tools for failure prediction are developed and verified.

Interfacial Effects in Particulate, Fibrous and Layered Composite Materials

Edited by: T.W. Clyne

Online since: December 1995

Description: There is extensive interest in the development of new and improved composite materials. This is particularly true of composite systems based upon metallic and ceramic constituents. As the characteristics of the interface are of central importance, there is a great incentive for an improved understanding of the nature of interfaces between constituents in such composite systems and of the factors that affect their mechanical characteristics.

Non Linear Phenomena in Materials Science III

Edited by: G. Ananthakrishna, L.P. Kubin and G. Martin

Online since: April 1995

Description: Instabilities and patterning in driven materials are two related topics in materials science to which increasing attention has been paid in the past few years, leading to the emergence of a fastly expanding and pluridisciplinary domain. Theoretical approaches as well as simulations have yielded bases for modelling the kinetics and the dynamics of mutually interacting populations of objects, as well as various transitions towards organized configurations far from equilibrium.

Materials for Advanced Technology Applications

Edited by: M. Buggy and S. Hampshire

Online since: January 1992

Description: The volume presents a unique collection of review and research papers in some of the most important materials research areas. Special attention is given to ceramic materials and materials for extreme environments.
