Mechanics of Composite Materials OCW

Book: Reviews

Applied Mechanics Review, March 1999 quotes – “well written, very readable, clear, and easy to follow. It has good quality figures, references, and exercises at the end of each chapter, and a good subject index at the end of the book. The book is recommended as a beginning graduate or a senior undergraduate textbook on composites. While for researchers who are new to composites, this is an excellent introductory book.”

Amazon review “Bought this book for a graduate course taught by the author of this book. It is a very concise compendium of information on composite materials mechanics. The book is very straightforward and everything is explained very clearly.”

Amazon review “ found this book written in plain English, useful, clear and rich of examples and numerical exercises with solution. It contains also a clear explanation of the basic concepts of classical Continuum Mechanics.
Some chapters are even written in a question/answer fashion which makes easy the reading and comprehension. I think this book may fit undergraduate students, postgraduate students and researchers.”

imechanica.org review “If you are new to the mechanics of composite materials, I strongly recommend you to start with Autar Kaw’s Mechanics of Composite Materials book. It is very well written and it has very clear explanation. I myself like these kind of books a lot, then I can easily find what I am looking for. It also includes some example problems which might help you to improve your knowledge and get familiar with the topics.”
