Editorial Reviews

"I am yet to read a book on micromechanics of composite materials with this level of description."
—Gangadhara Prusty, University of New South Wales, Australia

"This book would be appropriate for advanced students in materials science or mechanical engineering interested in modeling the micro-mechanical behavior of materials. It provides a good introduction to the subject…"
