DESCRIPTION:
One of the major hurdles to widespread
acceptance of natural fibre composites is a lack of information about their mechanical
properties and failure mechanisms contained in a single source. This book
addresses the problem. It examines the properties of natural fibre composites
and the methods by which they fail. It provides an overview of the different
types of natural fibre composite and case studies showing their applications.
The mechanical properties of both thermoplastic and thermoset matrix composites
are covered along with their long term performance. Readers will gain a better
understanding of how natural fibre composites can be used as substitutes for
conventionally reinforced composites.
