Manual on Experimental Methods for Mechanical Testing of Composites
Manual on Experimental Methods for Mechanical Testing of Composites provides a comprehensive series of basic introductory tutorials on various experimental techniques used in the mechanical evaluation of composite materials. Edited by Richard L. Pendleton and Mark E. Tuttle, the text covers fundamental tools such as bonded foil strain gauges, as well as more sophisticated methods including geometric and moiré interferometry, shearography, acoustic emission, and radiography. It further details damage evaluation techniques like laminate deplying and edge replication. This manual serves as an essential reference for practicing research engineers and educators, offering the technical foundation needed to master experimental composite materials testing and to support structural analysis and design.
