Description
This book contains a selection of fully peer-reviewed papers which were presented at the 2nd ESIS TC4 Conference, held in Les
Diablerets, Switzerland 13 - 15 September 1999.
The meeting was designed to reflect the activities of the Committee over the last
15 years, and to plan future activities. The papers have been divided into four chapters under the headings of Composites, Elastic-Plastic
Fracture, Adhesion, and Impact and General Fracture. These are convenient groupings, but there are many interactions between the areas,
with the common theme of Fracture Mechanics underlying it all.
Audience
For researchers with an interest in the fracture mechanics of polymers, composites and adhesives.
Contents
Composites. Preface. Comparison of fracture toughness (GIC) values of polytherimide (PEI) and a carbon-fibre/PEI composite:
