Book Description
Andrej V. Cherkaev and Robert V. Kohn In the past twenty years we have witnessed a renaissance of theoretical work on the macroscopic behavior of microscopically heterogeneous mate rials. This activity brings together a number of related themes, including: ( 1) the use of weak convergence as a rigorous yet general language for the discussion of macroscopic behavior; (2) interest in new types of questions, particularly the "G-closure problem," motivated in large part by applications of optimal control theory to structural optimization; (3) the introduction of new methods for bounding effective moduli, including one based on "com pensated compactness"; and (4) the identification of deep links between the analysis of microstructures and the multidimensional calculus of variations. This work has implications for many physical problems involving optimal design, composite materials, and coherent phase transitions. As a result it has received attention and support from numerous scientific communities, including engineering, materials science, and physics as well as mathematics. There is by now an extensive literature in this area. But for various reasons certain fundamental papers were never properly published, circu lating instead as mimeographed notes or preprints. Other work appeared in poorly distributed conference proceedings volumes. Still other work was published in standard books or journals, but written in Russian or French. The net effect is a sort of "gap" in the literature, which has made the subject unnecessarily difficult for newcomers to penetrate.

Book Description
L’utilisation des composites à matrice organique pour des applications structurales à haute température est de plus en plus souvent envisagée, notamment dans certaines zones de turbomachines aéronautiques. A cette fin, il devient nécessaire d’analyser les effets du vieillissement thermo-oxydant sur le comportement mécanique d’un polymère et des composites associés. Cet ouvrage met en relief des méthodologies expérimentales originales qui permettent, par analyse inverse, de développer et d’identifier une loi de comportement du polymère dépendant du vieillissement ainsi que les déformations d’origine chimique. Ces informations sont utilisées pour le calcul des contraintes internes induites par un vieillissement thermo-oxydant dans des composites unidirectionnels à fibres continues de carbone. Comportement mécanique des composites à matrice organique se différencie des autres ouvrages par son approche. Il examine des lois de comportement thermomécaniques locales dépendant de l’oxydation grâce à l’emploi d’essais couplés et non couplés à l’échelle microscopique. Il présente des modèles originaux afin d'intégrer toute la richesse de la phénoménologie observée expérimentalement, grâce à l'emploi de variables internes correctement choisies.

Book Description
This book provides the first comprehensive review of its kind on the long-term behaviour of composite materials and structures subjected to time variable mechanical, thermal, and chemical influences, a subject of critical importance to the design, development, and certification of high performance engineering structures. Specific topics examined include damage, damage characterization, and damage mechanics; fatigue testing and evaluation; fatigue behaviour of short and long fibre reinforced polymer and metal matrix materials; viscoelastic and moisture effects; delamination; statistical considerations; the modeling of cumulative damage development; and life prediction. The volume provides an extensive presentation of data, discussions, and comparisons on the behaviour of the major types of material systems in current use, as well as extensive analysis and modeling (including the first presentation of work not found elsewhere). The book will be of special interest to engineers concerned with reliability, maintainability, safety, certification, and damage tolerance; to materials developers concerned with making materials for long-term service, especially under severe loads and environments, and to lecturers, students, and researchers involved in material system design, performance, solid mechanics, fatigue, durability, and composite materials. The scope of the work extends from entry level material to the frontiers of the subject.

Book Description
Synthèse unanimement reconnue, Matériaux Composites apporte l'ensemble des éléments nécessaires à une bonne compréhension du comportement mécanique des matériaux et structures composites. Dans ce traité, les différentes parties de l'ouvrage ont été développées de manière à aboutir à une continuité des concepts et théories, fournissant ainsi une approche fondamentale unifiée. Après avoir présenté la constitution puis la mise en œuvre des matériaux composites, l'ouvrage développe progressivement les outils nécessaires à la modélisation du comportement mécanique des structures en matériaux composites stratifiés et sandwichs. Il aborde ensuite les problèmes de dimensionnement des structures montrant comment les outils introduits permettent de modéliser le comportement mécanique. Le contenu et la progression de l'ouvrage ont été conçus avec quatre objectifs principaux : considérer le matériau composite comme un matériau traditionnel ; intégrer l'apport de la conception assistée par ordinateur dans la résolution des problèmes de dimensionnement des structures ; aborder les difficultés de manière progressive afin de faciliter l'accès du lecteur aux divers concepts introduits ; confronter la modélisation avec le comportement réel des matériaux et des structures. Cette quatrième édition, entièrement actualisée, bénéficie de la réalisation de l'ouvrage Composite Materials, de l'auteur. Des exercices ont été ajoutés à la plupart des chapitres. Rigoureux et didactique, Matériaux Composites constitue l'ouvrage de référence des étudiants (2e et 3e cycles), ingénieurs, chercheurs et techniciens supérieurs.
