Multi-Scale Continuum Mechanics Modelling of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer CompositesAuthor(s): Wim Van Paepegem\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science Publishing Co Inc, United States\nImprint: Woodhead Publishing\nISBN-13: 9780128189849, 978-0128189849\nSynopsis\nMulti-scale modelling of composites is a very relevant topic in composites science. This is illustrated by the numerous sessions in the recent European and International Conferences on Composite Materials, but also by the fast developments in multi-scale modelling software tools, developed by large industrial players such as Siemens (Virtual Material Characterization toolkit and MultiMechanics virtual testing software), MSC/e-Xstream (Digimat software), Simulia (micromechanics plug-in in Abaqus), HyperSizer (Multi-scale design of composites), Altair (Altair Multiscale Designer) This book is intended to be an ideal reference on the latest advances in multi-scale modelling of fibre-reinforced polymer composites, that is.
