Rheology, Physical and Mechanical Behavior of Materials 4

Rheology, Physical and Mechanical Behavior of Materials 4 focuses on the replacement of metal and wood products with fiber composites, which offer highly interesting directional mechanical properties. It studies various tests used to characterize the fiber-bonding pair in orthotropic layers and axes and also presents methods used to obtain stiffness and flexibility matrices, maximum stresses and deformations, and rupture envelopes. Finally, it presents various laminates, such as membrane and bending plates, tubular torsion, beat, buckling, twisting and sandwich structures.
