Synopsis

This innovative book provides a complete introduction to the mechanical behavior of composites. Unlike old-style texts, this book introduces the basics of composites through frequently asked questions the author answers from his considerable experience as a professor and researcher in the field. Among other things it explains the basics of composites, including their importance to industry and discusses the mechanical behavior and properties of a single lamina. The text is supplemented by user-friendly PROMAL software, which allows readers to conduct studies, compare theories, design structures, and quickly access the information in tables and graphs.

Review:

"well written, very readable, clear, and easy to follow. It has good quality figures, references, and exercises at the end of each chapter, and a good subject index at the end of the book. The book is recommended as a beginning graduate or a senior undergraduate textbook on composites. While for researchers who are new to composites, this is an excellent introductory book." -Applied Mechanics Review, March 1999
