Structural Analysis of Polymeric Composite Materials studies the mechanics of composite materials and structures and combines classical lamination theory with macromechanic failure principles for prediction and optimization of composite structural performance. This reference addresses topics such as high-strength fibers, commercially-available compounds, and the behavior of anisotropic, orthotropic, and transversely isotropic materials and structures subjected to complex loading. It provides a wide variety of numerical analyses and examples throughout each chapter and details the use of easily-accessible computer programs for solutions to problems presented in the text.

Review
"This book is characterized by pedagogical features, which facilitate understanding of the exposed subjects. The author provides a wide variety of numerical analyses and examples throughout each chapter and details on the use of easily accessible computer programs … as solutions to the problems presented in the text. … [A] good reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students, but also for the industrials in the area of polymeric composites."
— Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, May-August, 2005

This review is from: Structural Analysis of Polymeric Composite Materials (Mechanical Engineering, 165) (Mechanical Engineering (Marcel Dekker)) (Hardcover)
I am taking a graduate course in composite structures. Our textbook, written by the professor, includes almost no examples and the text struggles to tie the mathematical concepts together in a practical way. In preparation for my exam, I utilized this book by Tuttle. In contrast to our assigned text, it seems to flow in a much more intuitive way. There are numerous example problems which help clarify your understanding of the concepts. I would recommend this book as a reference for professionals and as a supplement to introductory composites coursework.
