From the Back Cover:

Key Benefit: Focusing on fundamentals with an up-to-date presentation of more advanced topics, this clearly written introductory book gives readers the knowledge they will need to effectively design structures using advanced composite materials by presenting its basic analytic and design principles. Key Topics: Examines the basics of material forms, properties and manufacturing techniques. It offers balanced coverage between experimental results for materials characterization and the analysis necessary and useful for design purposes, and provides a unique study of failure of laminates, delamination, matrix cracking, and durability. Readers will find an in-depth analysis of fiber composite beams, demonstrating how to combine the necessary aspects of lamination theory with traditional principles of mechanics of materials to achieve a de sign and analysis methodology. Market: For engineers working with composite materials.
