Sommario/riassunto

Composite materials are increasingly finding use in diverse applications requiring a wide range of property and performance requirements. Low density, high specific strength and stiffness are the main features that make composite materials most suitable for structural applications. The field covers the concurrent manipulation of the material's composition and of the internal architecture of the composite in order to obtain the desired properties. The ability to tailor composite materials precisely is of great importance in structural applications. A systematic approach to the optimum tailoring

Sommario/riassunto

"The American Vegan Society appreciates Vance Lehmkuhl's distinctive voice in Philadelphia and the valuable work that he does keeping vegan views in front of readers throughout the region." --Freya Dinshah, President, American Vegan SocietyEating Vegan in Philly is the latest volume in the Vegan City Guides series, published by Sullivan Street



Press. The author, Vance Lehmkuhl, is the vegan columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News, V for Veg, and also writes the philly.com blog, V for Vegan. With this expertise, he covers the historical roots of the vegetarian/vegan scenes in Philadelphia and the rise over the last 50 years of a vital and important restaurant and food scene devoted to plant-based living. This book offers travelers a guidebook to all the vegan and vegan friendly restaurants in the area along with some of the most interesting sites and sights in Philadelphia to experience.
