Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

On the basis of a statistical approach presupposing direct utilization of experimental data produced in modelling operations, a procedure is proposed for computational estimates on composite materials in which allowance is made for the initial defects, the variable properties of the material, and the conditions of use (physical medium). Experimental data on Plexiglas shells which confirm the practical applicability of the procedure are given. Questions relating to the design of tests on composite shells are discussed.
