Download or read book Hierarchical Composite Materials written by Kaushik Kumar and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hierarchical Composite Materials provides an in-depth analysis of a class of advanced composites that have properties that are anisotropic due to structural organization at different length scales. Chapters address how ordering occurs from the atomic-scale up to the microstructure and how control of these factors leads to the final materials' properties. Manufacturing procedures, properties, and applications of different functionally graded materials are discussed in detail. This book is ideal for materials scientists, mechanical engineers, chemists and physicists.
