A comprehensive account of the basic theory of the mechanical behavior of heterogeneous media, this graduate-level text assembles, interprets, and interrelates contributions to the field of composite materials from theoretical research, laboratory developments, and product applications. It focuses on the continuum mechanics aspects of behavior; specifically, it invokes idealized geometric models of the heterogeneous system to obtain theoretical predictions of macroscopic properties in terms of individual constituent materials. The wide range of subjects encompasses macroscopic stiffness properties, failure characterization, and wave propagation. 1979 ed. 368pp. 53/8 x 81/2.
