Description
This book provides the basis for calculations of composite structures, using continuum mechanics to facilitate the treatment of more elaborate
theories. A composite structure combines traditional materials (such as concrete) with new materials (such as high performance fibres)
to explore and develop new structures.
The author deals with individual layers in laminate composites, discussing the basic laws
that govern mixtures.
Audience:
Advanced students, academics and practitioners involved in mechanics, mechanical structures and systems
