Introduction to Composite Materials Design

by Ever J. Barbero

Providing the main tools used for preliminary design of composites, this concise text covers all design aspects such as fiber and matrix selection, fabrication processes, prediction of material properties, and structural analysis of beams, plates, shells, and other structures.
Powerful preliminary-design tools, such as "carpet plots," are used in examples throughout the book, and software, entitles Computer Aided Design Environment for Composites (CADEC), is provided, which includes all of the design equations. To download CADEC, visit Dr. Barbero's book website
