Download or read book Characterisation and Modelling of Continuous-Discontinuous Sheet Moulding Compound Composites for Structural Applications written by Trauth, Anna and published by KIT Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-11 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main objective of this work is to significantly deepen the understanding of the material and the structural behaviour of continuous-discontinuous SMC composites, following a holistic approach to investigate microscopic aspects, macroscopic mechanical behaviour as well as failure evolution at the coupon, structure and component level. In addition, criteria to evaluate the effect of hybridisation are introduced and modelling approaches are presented and discussed.
