Fiber-Reinforced Composites : Recent Advances, New Perspectives and Applications

Abstract

Fiber-reinforced composites have been widely applied in different industrial areas. This book focuses on the recent advances, new perspectives, and applications of different fiber-reinforced composites, such, as ceramic-matrix composites, fiber-reinforced concrete, wood–plastic composites, and so on. The design, fabrication, and application of fiber-reinforced composites are related to the high mechanical properties and nondestructive damage monitoring techniques. The experimental and damage monitoring method can reveal the internal damage evolution process inside of the fiber-reinforced composites and improve the operation reliability and safety of the composites and components. The book can help composite researchers better understand the engineering application, mechanical behavior, and damage detection of fiber-reinforced composites.
