Customer Reviews

This is a great book for composite materials especially if you really want to know what is going on in the composites industry. Even though the literature is good, the pages are all black and white with very poor print image quality, which does not benefit visual learners. This book could be great if the print quality improved.

This is a great reference on composite materials. It details almost everything that a person designing composites would need. It can be a bit bland to read, but it is full of valuable information. The only thing that it may lack is example calculations for the design of composite structures, but the theory is all there.
