This book covers micro and macro aspects of toughened composites covering polymer matrix, metal matrix, ceramic matrix and nanomatrix including composites fabrication, construction, and light weight yet high crack - resistance performance, macroscopic testing, models of stress transfer and commercial features.
Author Biography
Dr Sri Bandyopadhyay, a former academic at UNSW Sydney Australia - School of Mat Sci Eng, and an earlier senior research scientist at Australian Defence DSTO MRL Melbourne has research background in fracture micro - micro features in a) polymer matrix, b) meal matrix and c) ceramic matrix composites. At DSTO MRL Australia, Sri Bandyopadhyay's in-situ SEM study of micro-macro fracture earned Sri the 'DSTO MRL Scientist of the year' award. Whilst at UNSW SMSE, Sri Bandyopadhyay taught fracture mechanics, polymer engineering and composites technology to students in his School as well as in other schools at UNSW in Faculty of Engineering. By the way, Sri Bandyopadhyay had done his Ph D at Monash University Australia on Environmental Stress cracking of Polyethylene. Sri's organised Proceedings of ACUN-5 International Composite Conference - Developments in Composites: Advanced, Infrastructural, Natural and Nano-composites, 11-14 July, 2006, UNSW, Sydney, Australia are available on internet using website http: //unsworks.unsw.edu.au/fapi/datastream/unsworks:417/SOURCE1?view=true
