Editorial Reviews
Review
"Excellent textbook for beginners."--Hsien Yang Yeh, California State University, Long Beach
"This book is unique and different from other books on the mechanics of continuous fiber reinforced composite materials, because it succeeds in meeting its objectives....Easy to read and succeeds in presenting the subject material in a highly organized and effective approach. The book is recommended as a teaching textbook for a senior undergraduate or graduate course."--Applied Mechanics Review
"I really like the application-type problems following each chapter. Up-to-date examples with applications are good!"--David R. Veazie, Clark Atlanta University --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A great book to start the study on composites,
By
This review is from: Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials (Hardcover)
This book is really friendly for a novice in composites. It contains a lot of theoretical and experimental data, solved problems and problems for the reader to solve and also lots of enlightening illustrations and figures. Chapters 7 and 8 nicely cover stress and failure analysis and characterization and testing subjects. Overall a very good book and up to date.

Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials,

This review is from: Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials (Hardcover)
The book Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials by Isaac M. Daniel and Ori Ishai is probably one of the best introduction books for composite analysis. I own several books in composites and so far this is the book I believe is most intuitive. I used this book as undergraduate and I continue to use it today. The book is easy to follow and for the most part provides with the formulation of most of the equations cover in the book. The only thing it lacks is a section in tensor analysis to help students understand stress and strain transformation via linear algebra. Over all I would recommend this text to anyone interested in learning the basics laminated composite analysis.
