Synopsis

This book is primarily intended to give an overview on the current use of lightweight materials in structural applications. This book aims to provide a guideline for reviewing and understanding the theory and uniqueness of each lightweight material. Various types of lightweight materials are described to show their feasibility with number of structural applications including in automotive, aviation, marine and civil industries. This book covers the metallic, non-metallic, polymer, composite and various other lightweight materials. The approaches presented in this book have prevalently been employed in real world application namely finite element and experimental techniques. As a reference, the data of each material obtained from experimental tests can be used for further subsequent analyses.
