Structural analysis of polymeric composite materials

"Emphasizing the macromechanical (structural) level, over micromechanical issues and analyses, this unique text covers crucially important effects of environment, that is, effects due to temperature changes or moisture content, at the outset to establish a coherent and updated knowledge base. E...
