Design and Analysis of Structural Joints with Composite Materials

Book presents a comprehensive set of design and analysis equations, as well as technical steps, to enable engineers and technicians to produce and test effective structural joints using composite materials and explaining how composites joints differ from ones made of metal. Techniques provided apply to joining methods in aviation, aerospace, automotive, infrastructure and recreation. The book is enhanced with details on failure analysis and ways to improve composite joining systems, as well as special sections on troubleshooting drawn from field-based case studies.
