Dynamic Loading and Characterization of Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Emphasizing polymer-based fibre-reinforced composites, this text is designed to provide readers with a significant understanding of the complexities involved in characterizing dynamic events and the corresponding response of advanced fibre composite materials and structures. These elements include dynamic loading devices, material properties characterization, analytical and experimental techniques to assess the damage and failure modes associated with various dynamic loading events. Concluding remarks are presented throughout the text which summarize key points and raise issues related to important research needed.
