This chapter provides an introduction to the generic types of constituents, manufacturing defects, and in-service defects to be found in composite materials based on continuous fibers. First, the basic composite constituents are outlined. Next, fiber鈥搈atrix debonding, matrix cracking damage, fiber ...

High strength and high toughness are usually mutually exclusive in engineering materials. In ceramics, improving toughness usually relies on the introduction of a metallic or polymeric ductile phase, but this decreases the material’s strength and stiffness as well as its high-temperature stability. Al...

Effects of cement type, water to binder ratio and volume concentration of aggregate on autogenous shrinkage of cement based materials were experimentally investigated, and are reported in this paper. A large amount of autogenous shrinkage was observed in cement paste and concrete with low water to ...
