Title:	Impact behaviour of fibre-reinforced composite materials and structures
Authors:	R Reid, S
Keywords:	reinforced composite materials and structures
Issue Date:	2000
Publisher:	North and South America
Description:	The book has a broad scope and covers both experimental and analytical approaches to understanding the impact response of fibre-reinforced composites, and the effects of impact damage and failure under conditions ranging from low velocity to hypervelocity impact. It is intended to be useful not only to practising engineers, academics, researchers and designers in the field, but also to materials scientists, postgraduate research students, and manufacturers of composite materials and structures. Numerous references are given at the end of each chapter to enable the reader to explore the topics covered in greater detail. Impact problems concerning composite structures involve diverse disciplines, and require the combined skills of engineers, materials scientists and mathematicians. Thus, a degree of overlap between the sections of some chapters is unavoidable. Since the book focuses exclusively on the impact behaviour of continuous fibrereinforced composite materials and structures, the general subject of composite materials is not covered in depth. Also, short fibre-reinforced composite materials and structures are not considered.
