Responding to the need for a single reference source on the design and applications of composites, Composite Materials: Design and Applications, Second Edition provides an authoritative examination of the composite materials used in current industrial applications and delivers much needed practical guidance to those working in this rapidly developing a of engineering.
This updated second edition extends its coverage to include original methods of ysis for various types of materials such as composite beams. The authors now also include an entire chapter devoted to thick laminated composites. The first section describes the properties, fabrication process, and applications of composite materials. The second section describes the mechanics of composites, such as the elastic anisotropic properties and mechanical properties of thin laminates. The third section discusses orthotropic coefficients that may be used for design, including the Hill-Tsai failure criterion. The final section provides 40 case studies with complete solutions that illustrate the types of challenges encountered in modern engineering practice.
This timely resource delivers unique ysis and design solutions needed to conceptualize and design components made from composites. It is an indispensable guide for students and practicing engineers working with composite materials.
Counterfeit products represent a growing problem for a wide range of industries. There many estimates of the size of this problem most of which coalesce around $500-billion annually on a global basis. Overall, a wide range of industries agree that there is a severe problem with the global protection of intellectual property rights (IPR), yet, there have been virtually no attempts to describe all aspects of the problem. This book aims at giving the most complete description of various characteristics of the intellectual property rights (IPR) environment in a global context. The authors believe a holistic understanding of the problem must include consumer complicity to purchase counterfeit, actions of the counterfeiters (pirates) as well as actions (or inaction) by home and host governments, and the role of international organizations and industry alliances. Only after establishing how all the actors in the IPR environment relate to one another can we describe global protection of the intellectual property rights environment and the managerial response of IPR owners and/or industry ociations to combat this ongoing problem. The book concludes with pragmatic recommendations for protecting intellectual property given the recent trends discussed in the previous chapters, making it of interest to pracioners and policy-makers alike.
