Composite structures and products have developed tremendously since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1986. This new edition of the now classic 1986 text has been written to educate the engineering reader in the various aspects of mechanics for using composite materials in the design and analysis of composite structures and products. Areas dealt with include manufacture, micromechanical properties, structural design, joints and bonding and a much needed introduction to composite design philosophy. Each chapter is concluded by numerous problems suitable for home assignments or examination. A solution guide is available on request from the authors.

Industry Reviews

This book is probably the most informative and highly helpful work on the subject of structural aspects of composites, and merits an honored place in the study of every student and researcher associated with composites. Practicing composite structures engineers dealing with composites cannot fail to find much of interest and motivate them in this volume. It demands a place in their libraries. Indeed a worthwhile investment that continues the level of excellence associated with the earlier edition. - Current Engineering Practice, vol. 47, 2004.
