Mechanical Behavior of Organic Matrix Composites

Mechanical Behavior of Organic Matrix Composites: Effect of Thermo-oxidative Ageing

The book focuses on the effect of ageing (thermo-oxidation, humid ageing) on the mechanical properties of organic matrix composite materials, covering:

• Bibliographic issues and a detailed state-of-the-art;
• phenomenological and experimental issues;
• modelling issues and models parameter identification;
• illustration and interpretation of experimental tests and proposal for novel test design in the light of the model predictions.
