Description
Offering an introduction to the technology of composite materials as used in aeronautical design and structure, this text discusses differences between composites and metals, structural design procedures and in-service performance of those materials.

The 2nd edition of this best-selling book provides an introduction to virtually all aspects of the technology of composite materials as used in aeronautical design and structure. The text discusses important differences in the technology of composites from that of metals--intrinsic substantive differences and their implications for manufacturing processes, structural design procedures, and in-service performance of the materials, particularly regarding the cause and nature of damage that may be sustained.
