Thin-Walled Composite Protective Structures for Crashworthiness Applications

Scope
The primary objective of this book is to bridge this gap by presenting the concepts in composites in
an integrated and balanced manner and expose the reader to the total gamut of activities involved
in development of composite structures. The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in
the use of composite materials in structural applications. Composites have revolutionised traditional
design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable
materials for construction. This book presents an extensive survey on recent improvements in the
research and development of composites and biocomposites that are used to make structures in
various applications. This book deal with design, research and development studies, experimental
investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of
composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as
plates and shells to complete composite structures. This book also focus the recent advances in
biocomposite materials from renewable resources, and introduces a potential applications of this
