For many years, race cars of all types have been constructed with lightweight materials other than aluminium or steel. These include fibreglass, polymers, carbon fibre, kevlar and reinforced plastics. The application of this technology is also becoming more widely used on street cars as stronger materials, are developed, costs become lower and techniques are simplified. But the most widespread automotive application is still racing, and the equipment and technology available today now make it possible for racers to repair, and even construct their own lightweight body panels using these mateials. This text is a comprehensive technical handbook on the most current technology behind fibreglass and other composite materials. It should be of interest to racing or automotive enthusiasts as well as the automotive engineering or design students and professionals..

The concept of reinforcing brittle materials like cement paste, mortar or concrete with fibers has been known since ancient times. For example, baked clay reinforced with straw was used to build mud huts, and mortars for masonry were reinforced with animal hair. The wide variety of fiber types available in the 20th century has led to the development of a specialization in modern concrete technology based upon creating composites incorporating one or more types of fiber into the matrix of cement paste, mortar or concrete. This book summarizes and simplifies the results of a considerable body of research and practical experience with a wide range of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. This information will prove invaluable to engineers, architects concrete contractors and others working in design, construction or product manufacture who may be unfamiliar with this technology..

From the author: Threaded joints can be used to join different polymers or polymers to metals at high loads. Design with self-threading screws or threaded inserts requires dynamic mechanical properties. Results are presented on threaded joints of glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6 under static and dynamic loads. Dynamic load limits are determined by using the hysteresis measurement method with stepwise load increment experiments and single load level experiments. The failure and fatigue behavior of threaded joints is characterized by several parameters calculated from the hysteresis loop. These parameters change in a characteristic manner as a function of load and time. Significant changes exhibited by the damping and stiffness curves in stepwise load increase experiments can be used to determine the loss of preload on the screw and the beginning of screw pull out. Specially designed self threading screws for threaded joints capable of bearing high dynamic loads are discussed. These joints can attain a life in the endurance range ([10.sup.6] cycles) without loss of preload. In comparison with S-N curves, the dynamic load limits for threaded joints can be determined more quickly by the hysteresis measurement method.
