"... provides not only an overview into manufacturing of composite materials that is reasonably understandable by students without going into extravagant detail, but also provides students with examples that are easy to follow such that they can complete the associated homework problems. The combination of both static and dynamic analysis of composites makes this text worth selecting for a senior- or graduate-level mechanical engineering course in the mechanics of composites."
―Josh T. Millard, Oregon Institute of Technology, Klamath Falls, USA
"Easy to read, with good examples. Well-laid-out theories. Very perfect for what I am teaching and perhaps for most of what composites faculty are teaching."
―Srikanth Pilla, Clemson University, South Carolina, USA
"I like the approach of answering homework problems in the fourth edition, included in the back of the book. In particular, I have found all the necessary and relevant topics have been covered within the new edition, and the flow of the topics is appropriate. ... This book is easy to understand, simple in approach, and student friendly, with worked-out problems and descriptions. Expanded coverage of the requirement for structural analysis of composite materials makes it more fruitful and interesting. ... This book will continue to serve as a basic reference for newcomers to the area of composite materials as well as for experienced personnel."
―Dr. Kabir Mamun, School of Engineering and Physics, Faculty of Science, Engineering, and Technology, The University of the South Pacific, Laucala Campus, Suva, Fiji Islands
"... includes many new developments in the field of composite mechanics which deserve to be presented at a course to graduate students, and this new edition is particularly suitable to this kind of course. It adds a lot of new example problems and homework problems within the chapter sections."
―Dr. Fulin Shang, Professor, Xi’an Jiaotong University, China
"Wonderful book! Easy to read and follow by professors and students."
―Domenico Umbrello, Department of Mechanical, Energetic, and Management Engineering (DIMEG), University of Calabria, Rende, Italy
"The text has a very good introduction that takes its basis in the newest technologies and materials. Moreover, the text provides examples on the use of composite materials in modern products ranging from the civil engineering industry to space crafts. Furthermore, the text provides a thorough link between the courses taught in mechanics of materials and the approach to calculate laminates."
―Jon Svenninggaard, Senior Lecturer, Mechanical Engineering Department, VIA University College, Horsens, Denmark
