Books by Keyword: Mechanical Performance

Description: The widespread use of composite materials, given relatively low development and manufacturing costs, creates significant demand for scientific knowledge and computational tools for their manufacturing. The mechanical behaviour of composite parts in service is dominated by fiber orientation and density, which in turn are determined by the forming process. Hence, predicting in-service performance requires a full understanding of, and preferably a prediction of, the complex material behaviour during manufacturing. The presented special edition will be helpful to researchers and practitioners who work with composite materials.

Description:

Selected, peer reviewed papers from the 2012
International Conference on Spacecraft Structures, Materials and Mechanical
Testing (ICSSMMT 2012), December 27-28, 2012, Xiamen, China.
The papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Material Engineering and Technology;
Chapter 2: Spacecraft Structures Technology;
Chapter 3: Advanced Achievements of Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing
Technology;
Chapter 4: Advanced Applications of Electrical Engineering Development

Description: The volume presents the results of the 2nd ASM Paris conference on advanced materials. The theme of the meeting was selected to recognize that materials have matured to a stage where significant advances in the future require more than the traditional microstructure-mechanical property relationships approach. Greater emphasis must rahter be placed on synthesis/processing and modelling of advanced materials to achieve enhanced levels of physical and mechanical performance.
