Table of contents:
PART I: PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION. Composite Materials, Interest and Properties. Fabrication Processes. Ply Properties. Sandwich Structures. Conception and Design. Joining and Assembly. Composite Materials and Aerospace Applications. Composite Materials in Different Applications. PART II: MECHANICAL BEHAVIOR OF LAMINATED MATERIALS. Anisotropic Elastic Media. Elastic Constants of Unidirectional Composites. Elastic Constants of a Ply Along an Arbitrary Direction. Mechanical Behavior of
Composite Materials: Design and Applications is an updated translation of the French book Materiaux Composites. It is a comprehensive, well-illustrated reference and text on composite materials and structures. The illustrations are uniquely clear and standardized throughout. This practical book addresses difficult design issues such as sandwich plates, bonded joints, and other details of design. It is a welcome reference for design engineers andand outstanding textbook for undergraduate and graduate level students in mechanical, aerospace, civil and materials engineering departments.
