Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials / Edition 2

by Isaac M. Daniel

Overview

Daniel (theoretical and applied mechanics, Center for Intelligent Processing of Composites, Northwestern University) and Ishai (mechanical engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology) have added a more complete treatment of fundamental theory, more emphasis on widely-used materials, and a discussion of failure theories for this second edition of a text for advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate courses on composite materials in materials science and mechanical engineering. The design methodology and optimization process for composite structures are illustrated with specific examples. Sample problems and solutions are included.

About the Author

Isaac M. Daniel is presently at the Center for Quality Engineering and Failure Prevention at Northwestern University. He is a past Director of Northwestern University's Mechanics of Materials Laboratory. He holds a dual appointment, in both Civil and Mechanical Engineering departments at Northwestern. He is on the editorial boards of the two journals Composites (Butterworths) and Journal of Composites Technology and Research (ASTM). Ori Ishai is in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. For the past two decades, he has been involved continuously in the teaching of Mechanics of Composite Materials, and has initiated many new courses in that field at Technion University. In 1990 he resumed his position of Visiting Senior Scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center.
