The result of the authors? 40 years of experience in durability testing, this book describes the advanced testing methodology based on the viscoelasticity of matrix polymer. After a short introduction to the viscoelastic behavior of fiber–reinforced plastics, the text goes on to review in detail the concepts of static, fatigue and creep strengths in polymer composites. An application–oriented approach is adopted such that the concepts developed in the book are applied to real–life examples. Indispensable information for materials scientists and engineers working in those industrial sectors is concerned with the development and safe use of polymer composite–based products.
