This book provides the basis for calculations of composite structures usingcontinuum mechanics to facilitate the treatment of more elaborate theories. Acomposite structure combines traditional materials such as concrete with newmaterials such as high performance fibres to explore and develop newstructures.The author deals with individual layers in laminate compositesdiscussing the basic laws that govern mixtures.Recommended for both student and professional use A systematic compactpresentation in a single volumeCovers the governing equations of compositebeams plates and structures «
