Failure Analysis of Composite Materials with Manufacturing Defects (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781032126869)

Ramesh Talreja is Tenneco Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. From 1991 to 2001, he was Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research is in composite materials, which he began at the Technical University of Denmark where he earned his PhD in Solid Mechanics in 1974 and was endowed with a Doctor of Technical Sciences degree in 1985 on his collected works on fatigue and damage mechanics of composites. His recent work has focused on the effects of manufacturing defects on the performance of advanced composites.

Prof. Talreja has published extensively in the composite materials field. He is the recipient of the 2013 ICCM (International Committee on Composite Materials) Scala Award and World Fellow and Life Member of ICCM. The American Society for Composites selected him for the 2017 Outstanding Researcher Award.
