Fracture of Polymers, Composites and Adhesives

This book contains a selection of fully peer-reviewed papers which were presented at the 2 nd 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.Conference on Fracture of Polymers Staff is the author of 'Fracture of Polymers, Composites and Adhesives' with ISBN 9780080437101 and ISBN 0080437109.
