Structural analysis of polymeric composite materials

M. E. Tuttle

"This text/reference studies the mechanics of composite materials and structures and combines classical lamination theory with macromechanical failure principles for prediction and optimization of composite structural performance - specifically addressing topics such as high-strength fibers, manufacturing techniques, commercially available compounds, and the behavior of anisotropic, orthotropic, and transversely isotropic materials and structures subjected to complex loading."--BOOK JACKET
