Composite materials have sparked a modern revolution in which they have become functional material systems, engineered to serve multifunctional purposes as diverse as energy conversion, osteopathic reconstruction, and aerospace structural performance. While these and many other types of engineered material systems have dramatically different functional and performance requirements, the question of their durability is central to their success. However, the precepts and conceptual requirements needed to achieve and maintain durability for all of these composite systems are also rapidly changing and disperse in the literature. Durability of Composite Systems meets the challenge of defining these precepts and requirements from first principles to applications in a diverse selection of technical fields, selected to form a corpus of concepts and methodologies that define the field of durability in composite material systems as a modern discipline. That discipline includes not only the classical rigor of mechanics, physics, and chemistry, but also the critical elements of thermodynamics, data analytics, and statistical uncertainty quantification as well as other requirements of the modern subject. The book provides a comprehensive summary of the field, suited to both reference and instructional use. It will be essential reading for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers and all those working in the design, analysis and manufacture of composite material systems. While solidly based on classical methods of discussing the subject (e.g. fracture mechanics), the book makes essential direct and detailed connections to modern concepts and methodologies such as machine learning, systems controls, sustainable and resilient systems, and additive manufacturing which play essential roles in the subject todayThe book is a careful balance between theory and practice so that presentations of details of methodology and philosophy are always driven by a context of applications and examplesCondenses in a single volume selected information regarding the durability of composite materials in a wide spectrum of applications ranging from automotive, wind energy, civil engineering, medical devices, electrical systems, aerospace and nuclear fields INDICE: 1.
