Stress Analysis of Fiber-Reinforced Composite Materials

Clear and well-written book that can both taught me the subject of composite stress analysis, helped me program useful scripts based on it, and still acts as a handy reference years later. I wish all college course books had been like this.

Mike, one of the most respected authorities in the field of composite materials, introduces you to the fundamentals of composites and takes you all the way through to failure theories. Rule of mixtures, classical lamination theory, stress analysis, failure theories...it's all here and explained simply. Well written, great examples and problems, fantasic organization. It's been my main bible for over ten years.
