Composite Materials: Engineering and Science (Chapman & Hall/CRC Research Notes in Mathematics)

This reprint of a popular text provides a basic understanding of the underlying science and the engineering applications of composite materials. It explains how materials with high strength and stiffness, low weight, and other desirable properties are obtained and discusses the nature of the different forms of reinforcement and matrix along with their interaction. The authors also present methods of production, typical applications, and essential data.F. L. Matthews is the author of 'Composite Materials: Engineering and Science (Chapman & Hall/CRC Research Notes in Mathematics)' with ISBN 9780849306211 and ISBN 0849306213.
