Mechanics of Composite Structures Author:Valery V. Vasiliev, Robert M. Jones Deals with the engineering mechanics of structural elements made of composite materials. The author presents applied methods for the analysis of the geometry, structure, and behavior of composite structural elements under different loading conditions, with special consideration of the anistrophy and laminated structure of composite elements.
