Hybrid Anisotropic Materials for Structural Aviation Parts, (Paperback)

As a professional in the field of composite research for 40 years, Yosif Golfman wrote this text to provide unique information on the use of anistropic materials in aerospace design. It covers nano composites, impregnation processes, and stress/strain analysis in aerospace structural engineering. It features new methods for analysis of interlaminar shear distribution in sandwich/carbon/fiber/epoxy technologies. It also discusses non-destructive methods, control technological parameters, and the influence of technological defects, such as micro-cracks, on the reduction of fatigue strength and durability. It also considers the protection of composite helicopter rotor blades by polymer coating layers.
