Overview

This book deals with the mechanical and physical behavior of composites as influenced by composite geometry. The monograph provides a comprehensive introduction for researchers and students to modern composite materials research with a special emphasis on the influence of geometry to materials properties. Composite Materials enables the reader to a better understanding of the behavior of natural composites, improvement of such materials, and design of new materials with prescribed properties.

Reviews

From the reviews: The book is devoted to an actual research topic -- how the composite materials properties are influenced by phase geometry and these properties can be predicted. ! The author has been focused the reader's attention not only to the theory, but also to many examples which have the origins in practical demands. ! The book can be used by beginners (graduate level) and specialists ! . (Holm Altenbach, Zeitschrift fur Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 86 (10), 2006)
