2.9.4 Hoffman Failure Criterion To account for different strengths in tension and compression, Hoffman added linear terms to Hill's equation (the basis for the Tsai-Hill criterion) [2-23]: ...
Robert M. Jones ... Chamis and Sendeckyj [3-5] divide micromechanics stiffness approaches into many more classes: netting analyses, mechanics of materials approaches, self-consistent models, variational techniques using energy-bounding ...
An appropriate division of the efforts just mentioned is helped by defining two areas of composite material behavior , micromechanics and macromechanics : Micromechanics – The study of composite material behavior wherein the interaction ...
The text also looks into the photoelastic investigation of composites. Civil engineers, mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, and people involved in the study of non-metallic materials will find the book invaluable.
Graduate-level text assembles and interprets contributions to field of composite materials for a comprehensive account of mechanical behavior of heterogeneous media.
The book will be of great interest to researchers and professionals whose line of work requires the understanding of the mechanics of composite materials.
This book deals almost exclusively with this unified theory and its various applications.
Graduate-level text assembles and interprets contributions to field of composite materials for a comprehensive account of mechanical behavior of heterogeneous media.
This book balances introduction to the basic concepts of the mechanical behavior of composite materials and laminated composite structures. It covers topics from micromechanics and macromechanics to lamination theory and...
