Description

Book Synopsis
An increase in the use of composite materials has led to a greater demand for engineers versed in the design of structures made from such materials. This book demonstrates advanced concepts and emphasises structures. More than 300 illustrations, 50 fully worked problems, and material properties data sets are included.

Trade Review
Review of the hardback: 'This book will be useful to graduate students, researchers and engineers seeking to learn more about the mechanics of composites and the applications of composite materials.' Engineering Designer
