Fatigue in Composites: Science, Damage Mechanics, and Design Applications, Second Edition, provides an authoritative review of the current knowledge on the fatigue behaviour of composites. It covers in detail a wide range of different problems encountered by designers in the automotive, marine and structural engineering industries. Divided over three sections, the first section of chapters is designed exclusively to illustrate, the investigation methodologies and the response of materials under cyclic loadings. The second section presents more advanced topics such as the response of materials under in-service or extreme conditions, as well as theoretical developments and modelling approaches. In the third and final section industrial cases and applications in different fields of engineering are discussed. Leading scientists from academia and industry have prepared the different chapters. Particular care has been devoted to coordinating the content, style and philosophy behind the vario

Following the landmark Paris agreement, policy makers are under pressure to adopt policies that rapidly deliver deep, society-wide decarbonisation. Deep decarbonisation requires more durable policies, but not enough is known about if and how they actually emerge. This book provides the first systematic analysis of the determinants of policy durability in three high-profile areas: biofuel production, car transport, and industrial emissions. It breaks new ground by exploring how key European Union climate policies have shaped their own durability and their ability to stimulate supportive political dynamics in society. It combines state-of-the-art policy theories with empirical accounts of landmark political events such as 'Dieselgate' and the campaign against 'dirty' biofuels, to offer a fresh understanding of how and why policy makers set about packaging together different elements of policy. By shining new light on an important area of contemporary policy making, it reveals a rich agen

In Hong Kong, the banking system is the primary source of financial stability risk. Post-2008 regulatory reforms have focused on financial stability policies and tools while neglecting the design of supervisory models. This book provides a comparative analysis of how supervisory models affect the management of financial stability regulations in Hong Kong's banking system. Regulatory issues discussed span prudential regulations, systemically important banks, unconventional liquidity tools, deposit insurance, lender of last resort, resolution regimes, central clearing counterparties and derivatives, Renminbi infrastructure, stock and bond connect schemes, distributed ledger technology, digital yuan, US dollar sanctions, cryptocurrencies, RegTech, and FinTech. A Regulatory Design for Financial Stability in Hong Kong elucidates the flaws and synergies in Hong Kong's banking regulatory framework and proposes conventional and innovative regulatory reforms. This book will be of great interest
