Provides a basic understanding of the science and engineering applications of composite materials. It explains how materials with high strength and stiffness, together with low weight and other desirable properties, are obtained and discusses the nature of the different forms of reinforcements and matrix and their interaction. Methods of production, typical applications, and essential data are also presented. Reinforcements and the reinforcement-matrix interface; Composites with metallic matrices; Ceramic matrix composites; Polymer matrix composites; Stiffness, strength and related topics; Stiffness of unidirectional composites and laminates; Micromechanics of unidirectional composites; Strength of unidirectional composites and laminates; Short fibre composites; Fracture mechanics and toughening mechanisms; Impact resistance; Fatigue and environmental effects; Joining; Non-destructive testing.

Item processed, shipped and delivered in very timely manner. Packaging of item was beyond what I would expect for a small map. This seller apparently takes great pride in protecting the item being shipped. Condition of item was as described. Very much appreciated!! Would not hesitate to order from this seller again. Thank you.
