Rezensionen

From the reviews of the third edition:

"Composite Materials, certainly a good addition to any library, provides comprehensive coverage of this multidisciplinary subject. This new edition ... was thoroughly revised and includes information on advances in the field and additional problems and examples. ... The book can be used as a text for upper-division undergraduate and graduate courses ... . Graduate students, researchers, and practitioners will find the last section very useful. ... Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above." (S. D. El Wakil, Choice, Vol. 50 (7), March, 2013)
