Synopsis:

Composite materials are seeing wider and wider applications to, for example, aircraft, cars, bicycles, and superconductors. They have been proven to be stronger yet more flexible than steel and other materials presently in use. Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students, as well as engineers with a need for a clear, useful introduction to the composites field, this text was drawn form extensive course notes developed by both authors over many years. Beginning with basic definitions and an overview of the current status of composites technology, it takes the student and newcomer to composites through the theory and experimental results of research with many types of composite materials. Emphasizing computational procedures, the text includes many solved problems, unsolved problems, and worked-out examples; also sample computer programs and flow charts for computations.

About the Author: Dr. Isaac M Daniel is Professor of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in the Civil and Mechanical Engineering Departments at Northwestern University. He was previously Director of Mechanics of Materials Laboratory at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He has been involved in teaching and research for over 25 years and has pioneered many test methods for composites. He has published numerous technical papers, and co-authored the first published monograph on Experimental Mechanics of Composites. Ori Ishai is Professor in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. For the past 25 years, he has been involved continuously in the teaching of Mechanics of Composite Materials, and has initiated many new research studies in the field at the Technion. He has published numerous articles on structural composite materials.
