Editorial Review: Product Description: This book balances introduction to the basic concepts of the mechanical behavior of composite materials and laminated composite structures. It covers topics from micromechanics and macromechanics to lamination theory and plate bending, buckling, and vibration, clarifying the physical significance of composite materials. In addition to the materials covered in the first edition, this book includes more theory-experiment comparisons and updated information on the design of composite materials. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A must haveThis book is just the bible for the stress analyst working with composites. A must have at your bookshelf. Rating: - A good reference book I am working as an stress engineer in space industry. This book covers many subjects in introduction level and it is holding the topics in basic philosophy. It does not include the latest research results. Because it is not written for this aim. It can be a fundamental teaching text book and a reference book for engineers. I would recommend it definetely for the newcomers to composite structures. For engineers besides this book Military handbook series can be also very useful. For more numerical ...

It didn't take me long to decide that the new edition was an essential purchase. This is THE text to buy if you have an interest in composites. Rating:  - Nice pictures, no valueI'm a final-semester senior at the University of Kentucky in Mechanical Engineering and I purchased this book as required reading for my composites class. Here's the thing: the book doesn't really say that much of anything. It spends all of its time stating equations for particular types of composites without specifying why it's doing it or how it got from equation to equation. As a matter of fact, all the chapter-end review questions seem to be are "hey, bet you can't figure out how we got from ... Read More Rating: - Good reference bookI find this book to be a very handy reference. Sometimes the equations get very involved, but I do like the way the material is presented. The font is kinda wierd (newest edition), but thats just a subjective thing for me. I also like the design section in the back, and the depth of information on design considerations is neat. Including this book, Swanson's analysis book is another good addition for joggling your memory on composite analysis that you took in grad school. :) Browse for similar items by category:
