This innovative book provides a complete introduction to the mechanical behavior of composites. Geared to upper-level and graduate students, or practicing engineers and scientists interested in updating their knowledge, Mechanics of Composite Materials emphasizes an overview of composites, followed by basic mechanical behavior of composites. The text is supplemented by a professional software package, PROMAL, which allows the reader/user to conduct studies, compare theories, design structures, and quickly access the information in tables and graphs.

Features:

• Provides a solid foundation for further study of fatigue, impact, fracture mechanics, creep, and vibration
• Identifies type of fibers and matrices, applications, and recycling
• Explains the macro mechanics of laminates
• Includes comprehensive exercise sets and numerical problems and numerous example to illustrate the concepts
