Damage Analysis of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Biocomposites: Destructive and Non-destructive Evaluation and Modelling presents the latest research findings in this important research field. The chapters focus on the causes of damage in these materials, its initiation, progression, detection, and evaluation using both experimental and numerical methods. It is only by understanding these mechanisms at a deeper level that new materials can be developed with enhanced properties for a broad range of different industrial applications.The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, as well as materials scientists and engineers and other professionals working in the damage mechanics of composites and polymer biocomposite materials. - Emphasis on damage classification and analysis- Covers destructive and non-destructive techniques- Includes experimental and numerical methods- Includes infrared thermography, x-ray imaging, micro-computed tomography and acoustic emission- Covers hybrid and natural fibre-reinforced composites
