Survey Of The State Of The Art Composites And Sandwich Structures

Abstract

The objective of the work is to present some researches regarding composits. The aim is motivated by the new materials such as composites and structural concepts, sandwich construction that have resulted in lighter structural designs with superior performance. There are presented and discussed the types of matrix materials, sandwich construction, failure modes in sandwich structures and design considerations. It is not possible to cover every aspect of this vast subject. The purpose here is to impart the basic knowledge so that the people involved in the structural repairs will have better understanding of the processes.
