Mechanics of Fibrous Composites [Paperback]

Comprehensive coverage of micro and macro mechanics of composite materials.
* Case studies on designing composite materials and laminates.
* Uses both SI and U.S. Customary units throughout.
* This is the only book that covers laminated tubes and damage mechanics and the only one that presents an extensive array of actual experimental results for the nonlinear, inelastic response of polymeric and metallic matrix composites.The What and the Why of Fibrous Composites.
