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. |

Excellent Text by drengr (Illinois) 5 Stars
February 16, 2007
I own the original edition of this text. I borrowed a colleague's copy of the second edition to review before buying my own copy. 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.

Nice pictures, no value by Joel C. Boyer (Lexington, Kentucky United States)  2 Stars
February 11, 2007
I'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 equation 4.56 to equation 4.57." It makes for somewhat easier homework because it's simple algebra and trig most of the time, but what am I learning, exactly? I usually try to justify books like this as saying, well, at least maybe I'll use it as a reference book in the future...but this book's just horrible. I would recommend you not buy this unless it's required of you for any particular class. Hope this helps.

Good reference book  4 Stars
December 02, 2002
I 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. :)

Not half bad by cmpst52 (Denton, NC United States) 4 Stars
February 26, 2001
When I took a composite materials course as a senior at NCSU, the teacher didn't. In a fit of desperation, I went to the bookstore and looked at all (3) composite books. This one used the same symbology as my prof's lecture notes, so I bought it, despite the price.What a great investment! The first chapter gives an excellent overview of the "why?" of composites. Chapters 2-end give you everything you every needed to know about composite mechanics (at least at the senior undergraduate level.)With this book, I learned the material and passed the course quite easily.Complaint: Like most textbooks, it gives very little coverage of computer modelling. Some, but not as much as I would have liked. It helped me pass the concept parts of the course, but I had to sink-or-swim on my own when it came time to write code.Other than that complaint, this is an excellent introductory book.
