Opis

This book guides readers on predicting the durability of any laminate in any chemical environment subjected to any loading--cyclic, static, or a combination thereof. The focus is on long-term in-service durability and the book provides quantitative answers to all durability issues of composite materials in industrial service.

O autorze

Antonio Carvalho Filho holds a degree in electrical engineering with working experience in business administration and space physics. Born in 1945, he has worked all of his professional life for top ranking companies in the composites industry, including 30 years with Owens Corning as technical and market development manager in Latin America, 13 years with Reichhold and Dion resins, and 4 years as consultant for Ashland and Derakane resins. His professional activities have centered mostly on technical issues (processes, materials, design, trouble shooting, etc.) involving composites in all markets and all manufacturing processes. He has written and published (in Portuguese) 5 books on topics as diverse as cure, post-cure, mold construction, painting, costing, mechanical properties, structural design, etc. on composites technology. He has also published several technical papers through SPI, ACMA, SAMPE, and others.
