Graduate-level text assembles, interprets, and interrelates contributions to field of composite materials from theoretical research, lab developments, and product applications. Focuses on continuum mechanics aspects of behavior; specifically, it invokes idealized geometric models of heterogeneous system for theoretical predictions of macroscopic properties in terms of individual constituent materials. 1979 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1979.
Strength of Materials by J. P. Den Hartog This full, clear treatment of basic material (tension, torsion, bending, etc.) also features advanced material on engineering methods and applications, in addition to 350 problems and answers.
Engineering Mechanics for Structures by Louis L. Bucciarelli This text explores the mechanics of solids and statics as well as the strength of materials and elasticity theory. Its many design exercises encourage creative initiative and systems thinking. 2009 edition.
