Introduction to Composite Materials Design Reviews

"I have found this book easy to teach from, but better yet, the students have found it easy to learn from. The material is logically presented, and flows easily though the development of new concepts for advanced students. Concepts of design utilizing the developed mechanics topics are extremely well integrated."
David Miller, Montana State University, USA

"Remarkable facility of the author to touch all the most relevant aspects deep enough to give the reader the adequate information, but not too extensively to make it boring or to transform it in those kind of books that one refers to only for the formulas; and the how he managed to connect the book to the real world industry examples, processes and methods, which is not so commonly found in other books."
Diego Rodriguez, FACC Operations GmbH, Austria

"The CADEC software that is integrated with the text was a major consideration in my selection of this book for my course. I have found it to be an invaluable instructional tool that complements the book and provides the students with the capability to explore various design scenarios with relative ease, while not compromising understanding of the fundamentals underpinning the software."
Richard K. Kunz, Mercer University, Macon, Georgia, USA

"The book is a self-contained set of valuable information of this specific topic that is written in a simple and clear manner, making it accessible to minor and major students of mechanical and material engineering."
Rui A.S. Moreira, University of Aveiro, Portugal

"I have no doubt that the Third edition of this textbook will help the new generation of readers to gain a better understanding of material selection, fabrication, material behaviour and structural analysis involved in design of composite structures."
Maria Kashtalyan, University of Aberdeen, UK
