MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE LAMINATED DECKS PLATES

نبذة عن كتاب MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE LAMINATED DECKS PLATES

A composite material can be defined as a combination of two or
more materials that gives better properties than those of the individual
components used alone. In contrast to metallic alloys, each material retains its
separate chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. The two constituents
are reinforcement and a matrix. The main advantages of composite materials are
their high strength and stiffness combined with low density when compared to
classical materials. Micromechanical approach is found to be more suitable for
the analysis of composite materials because it studies the volume proportions of
the constituents for the desired lamina stiffness and strength.
