Editorial Reviews

Vasiliev (composite structures, Moscow Aviation Technology Institute) explains the traditional approaches to engineering mechanics for structures made from the new composite materials that are very high in strength and stiffness in proportion to their weight. At a level suitable for graduate students or professionals in mechanical engineering who have some background in composite materials, he lays out the techniques used to analyze structural elements ranging from beams through plates to stiffened shells.
