Composites Science and Technology

Description:

---

Composite materials offer lively new solutions to important engineering problems and exciting challenges to the designer who seeks to exploit their potential. In the competition with conventional engineering materials, the development of safe and economic applications for composites requires scientific understanding of their behaviour, rigorous modelling of complex stress analytical problems, and innovative approaches to manufacturing. The journal publishes refereed original articles, occasional review papers, and letters, on all aspects of the fundamental and applied science of engineering composites. It deals with fibre and particulate composites, with reinforced metals, plastics and ceramics, including cementitious materials, and with natural composites like wood and bone. The editors welcome theoretical and experimental papers dealing with rheological, mechanical, chemical and physical properties, fatigue, fracture toughness, creep, durability and environmental effects, and papers on manufacture and design for specific purposes. The journal particularly encourages an interdisciplinary approach to the study of composites, with a balanced experimental and analytical view of their behaviour.
