For decades, Composite Materials: Design and Applications has guided readers on the efficient design of structural composite parts and has illustrated challenges encountered in modern engineering practice. The Fourth Edition of this perennial best-seller, now including a foreword by Professor Stephen Tsai, retains its pedagogical structure, featuring a technical level that rises in difficulty as the text progresses, while allowing each part to be explored independently, but has been updated to mirror recent advances and developments in manufacturing processes and applications. Gives numerous examples of the pre-sizing of composite parts, processed from industrial cases and reworked to highlight key information Provides a design method to define composite multilayered plates under loading, along with all numerical information needed for implementation Includes test cases for the validation of computer software using finite elements Proposes original study of composite beams of any section shapes and of transverse shear behavior of laminates, leading to technical formulations that are not found in the literature Reflects the latest manufacturing processes and applications in the aerospace, automotive, naval, wind turbine, and sporting goods industries, and now features new details on the recycling of composites and additive manufacturing Offers new coverage of ceramic-matrix composites and new concepts for design of laminates, including Double-Double and tapered laminates by means of Tsai homogenization 
This book serves as a textbook for advanced students studying composite materials design, as well as a handy reference for industry professionals working with composite materials. 
Figure slides are available for qualifying adopting professors.

Responding to the need for a single reference source on the design and applications of composites, Composite Materials: Design and Applications, Second Edition provides an authoritative examination of the composite materials used in current industrial applications and delivers much needed practical guidance to those working in this rapidly developing area of engineering. 
This updated second edition extends its coverage to include original methods of analysis for various types of materials such as composite beams. The authors now also include an entire chapter devoted to thick laminated composites. The first section describes the properties, fabrication process, and applications of composite materials. The second section describes the mechanics of composites, such as the elastic anisotropic properties and mechanical properties of thin laminates. The third section discusses orthotropic coefficients that may be used for design, including the Hill-Tsai failure criterion. The final section provides 40 case studies with complete solutions that illustrate the types of challenges encountered in modern engineering practice. 
This timely resource delivers unique analysis and design solutions needed to conceptualize and design components made from composites. It is an indispensable guide for students and practicing engineers working with composite materials.

Considered to have contributed greatly to the pre-sizing of composite structures, Composite Materials: Design and Applications is a popular reference book for designers of heavily loaded composite parts. Fully updated to mirror the exponential growth and development of composites, this English-language Third Edition: <ul>
<li>Contains all-new coverage of nanocomposites and biocomposites</li> <li>Reflects the latest manufacturing processes and applications in the aerospace, automotive, naval, wind turbine, and sporting goods industries</li> <li>Provides a design method to define composite multilayered plates under loading, along with all numerical information needed for implementation</li> <li>Proposes original study of composite beams of any section shapes and thick-laminated composite plates, leading to technical formulations that are not found in the literature</li> <li>Features numerous examples of the pre-sizing of composite parts, processed from industrial cases and reworked to highlight key information</li> <li>Includes test cases for the validation of computer software using finite elements</li> </ul>
Consisting of three main parts, plus a fourth on applications, Composite Materials: Design and Applications, Third Edition features a technical level that rises in difficulty as the text progresses, yet each part still can be explored independently. While the heart of the book, devoted to the methodical pre-design of structural parts, retains its original character, the contents have been significantly rewritten, restructured, and expanded to better illustrate the types of challenges encountered in modern engineering practice.

Composite Materials: Design and Applications, Third Edition

Composite materials have grown rapidly both in their applications and their economic importance, and they will no doubt continue to do so. With this growth has come increased attention in engineering curricula, but most coursework tends to focus on laminate theory and the analysis of composites, not on the practical design aspects most important to engineers. Composite Materials: Design and Applications fills that gap. Updated and translated from the successful French text Materiaux Composites, it offers comprehensive coverage of composites and their use in a broad range of applications. Part I provides a detailed introduction to composite materials, including fabrication processes, properties, design concepts, assembly, and applications. This section could also be used by itself in a course on advanced materials. Part II discusses elastic anisotopic properties, the directional dependence of different properties, and the mechanical properties of thin laminates. Alone, this section is suitable for a course on the mechanics of composite materials. Part III addresses the orthotropic coefficients needed for design activities, the Hill-Tsai failure criterion, the bending and torsion of composite beams, and the bending of thick composite plates. While somewhat more theoretical than the preceding chapters, it helps students better understand the behavior of composite parts. Part IV contains 41 detailed, numerical examples illustrating the design and use of composites. These are presented on three levels and cover the mechanical properties of composite structures in different forms, thermoelastic properties and failure analysis and the bonding of cylinders, sandwich beam buckling and flexure shear, and vibrations in composite plates. Clearly written and filled with more than 500 illustrations, Composite Materials: Design and Applications forms an outstanding textbook for senior undergraduate and beginning graduate-level course work-one that can make a significant contribution to the training of future engineers.
