Principles of Composite Material Mechanics

Front Cover
CRC Press, Feb 10, 2016 - Science - 700 pages
Principles of Composite Material Mechanics covers a unique blend of classical and contemporary mechanics of composites technologies. It presents analytical approaches ranging from the elementary mechanics of materials to more advanced elasticity and finite element numerical methods, discusses novel materials such as nanocomposites and hybrid multis
