Today, fiber composites are found in such diverse products as aircraft, automobiles, electronics and appliances. This new edition of "Analysis and Performance of Fiber Composites" explores the mechanics and material characteristics of composite fiber materials, while examining their performance in practical design applications. Material new to this edition includes a chapter on fabrication methods emphasizing reinforced plastics, computer programs for calculating lamina and laminate properties, and new material on experimental methods and fracture mechanics.
