(BQ) Principles of composite material mechanics covers a unique blend of classical and contemporary mechanics of composites technologies. It presents analytical approaches ranging from the elementary mechanics of materials to more advanced elasticity and finite element numerical methods, discusses novel materials such as nanocomposites and hybrid multiscale composites, and examines the hygrothermal, viscoelastic, and dynamic behavior of composites. | PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL MECHANICS PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITE MATERIAL MECHANICS Ronald F.
