Introduction to Composite Materials Design, Second Edition

Barbero is a very talented technical writer. This book is incredibly easy to understand and it has plenty of example problems. This book strikes a nice balance between explaining the theory behind models, and teaching how to use the models. It fits well with Barbero's book on using FEM to model the behavior of composite materials, and between this book and Barbero's other FEM book, my senior engineering design team was able to accurately model a simple composite structure.Good book, well written, very useful.

This is a great introduction to composite materials. If you have an undergraduate degree (or upper-level undergrad student), this is a great text to start understanding composites. It walks you through just about everything you need to know, without getting into math that we do not have the ability to understand. The examples do a good job of putting things together. The only negative is there are no solutions to the problems. As a self-study, this is a pretty big downfall, but I understand why the publisher decided to do this.I am about half way through the book.

Great Book. Has a lot of math equations in it and so as a Calc I student a little hard to understand, but with some help I Am getting it. Very good information. This is my text book for an Advanced Composite class.

Starts off with really good explanation on composites. The bad thing about this book is there are no answers to the questions. Also, many questions aren't covered in the book.

THIS BOOK IS REALLY WHAT YOU NEED AS INTRODUCTION TO COMPOSITE DESIGN WITH THE OTHER EXCEPTIONAL BOOK ABOUT "COMPOSITE BASICS" FROM ANDREW C. MARSHALL THAT YOU MAY READ FIRST.

This was a pretty decent textbook, I was required to get it for one of my classes but it was very informational.

good

It is an easy-to-read introduction to composite materials. The author tries to make everything simple and there are also many graphs and data provided which offer great help on the understanding of the subject.

No me ha gustado las tapas blandas. Al ser un libro para consultar, lo quería con tapas duras, más resistentes.

This is a well writen and interesting book.It is more academic than hands on.

informative

The book is okay but the shipping took more than expected.

introduttivo, ti da una panoramica sulle tecnologie e sul calcolo, dalle proprietà meccaniche a degli esempi che ti permettono sicuramente di capire qualcosa in più sui materiali compositi
