Scitus Failure And Damage Analysis Of Advanced Materials by Ambrish Kumar
Failure and damage analysis with discussed on advanced materials such as composites, laminates, sandwiches and foams, and also new metallic materials. Starting from some mathematical foundations (limit surfaces, symmetry considerations, invariants) new experimental results and their analysis are shown. Finally, new concepts for failure prediction and analysis will be introduced and discussed as well as new methods of failure and damage prediction for advanced metallic and non-metallic materials. Based on experimental results the traditional methods will be revised. Failure as a limit state of the material behavior is well known from engineering practice. Different types of failure can be identified: transition from the elastic to plastic state, loss of stiffness, loss of fracture resistance at different scale levels, ultimate strength, and fatigue. In addition, failure can be accompanied by various types of damage.
