Completely revised and updated, this second edition of a bestseller contains new chapters on short fiber composites, fabric reinforced composites, and external reinforcement for infrastructure. The text covers design aspects such as fiber and matrix selection, fabrication processes, prediction of material properties, and structural analysis of beams, plates, shells, and other structures. Powerful preliminary design tools, such as 'carpet plots', are used in examples throughout the book. Instructional materials including PowerPoint slides, software, and other pedagogical tools will be available from a password protected website maintained by the author.
