Abstract:

Experimental and analytical investigations were performed to provide increased understanding of the fundamental behavior of fiber reinforced plastic composites. The research was conducted in a number of discrete tasks which were grouped into three principal categories, namely materials research, mechanics of composites, and analysis and design of composite structures.
