Finite Element Analysis of Polymers and Composites

Finite Element Analysis of Polymers and its Composites offers up-to-date and significant findings on the finite element analysis of polymers and its composite materials. It is important to point out, that to date, there are no books that have been published in this concept. Thus, academicians, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students in the similar field will benefit from this highly application-oriented book. This book summarizes the experimental, mathematical and numerical analysis of polymers and its composite materials through finite element method. It provides detailed and comprehensive information on mechanical properties, fatigue and creep behaviour, thermal behaviour, vibrational analysis, testing methods and their modeling techniques. In addition, this book lists the main industrial sectors in which polymers and its composite materials simulation is used, and their gains from it, including aeronautics, medical, aerospace, automotive, naval, energy, civil, sports, manufacturing and even electronics. - Expands knowledge about the finite element analysis of polymers and composite materials to broaden application range - Presents an extensive survey of recent developments in research - Offers advancements of finite element analysis of polymers and composite materials - Written by leading experts in the field - Provides cutting-edge, up-to-date research on the characterization, analysis, and modeling of polymeric composite materials
