Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials

Review
"Excellent textbook for beginners."--Hsien Yang Yeh, California State University, Long Beach
"This book is unique and different from other books on the mechanics of continuous fiber reinforced composite materials, because it succeeds in meeting its objectives..Easy to read and succeeds in presenting the subject material in a highly organized and effective approach. The book is recommended as a teaching textbook for a senior undergraduate or graduate course."--Applied Mechanics Review
"I really like the application-type problems following each chapter. Up-to-date examples with applications are good!"--David R. Veazie, Clark Atlanta University
