Structural Analysis of Polymeric Composite Materials studies the mechanics ofcomposite materials and structures and combines classical lamination theorywith macromechanic failure principles for prediction and optimization ofcomposite structural performance. This reference addresses topics such as highstrength fibers commerciallyavailable compounds and the behavior ofanisotropic orthotropic and transversely isotropic materials and structuressubjected to complex loading. It provides a wide variety of numerical analysesand examples throughout each chapter and details the use of easilyaccessiblecomputer programs for solutions to problems presented in the text. «
