This is a book for people who love mechanics of composite materials and ? MATLAB . We will use the popular computer package MATLAB as a matrix calculator for doing the numerical calculations needed in mechanics of c- posite materials. In particular, the steps of the mechanical calculations will be emphasized in this book. The reader will not ?nd ready-made MATLAB programs for use as black boxes. Instead step-by-step solutions of composite material mechanics problems are examined in detail using MATLAB. All the problems in the book assume linear elastic behavior in structural mechanics. The emphasis is not on mass computations or programming, but rather on learning the composite material mechanics computations and understanding of the underlying concepts. The basic aspects of the mechanics of ?ber-reinforced composite materials are covered in this book. This includes lamina analysis in both the local and global coordinate systems, laminate analysis, and failure theories of a lamina.

Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"Voyiadjis and Kattan have written an exercise book for the use of the computer package MATLAB and they demonstrate the use of MATLAB in selected simple fields of Mechanics of Composite Materials. ... it is useful for students who like to receive an introduction into MATLAB and to connect the solution of problems using MATLAB with the step-by-step solutions of simple composite material problems." (Johannes Altenbach, Zeitschrift fur Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 86 (6), 2006)
