New book on composites published

By Janice Wood · March 24, 2009 ·

jecJEC Composites has released a new book called “Strength & Life of Composites” in partnership with Stanford University.

The 672-page book owes its origin to Composites Design Tutorial, an online training course. Edited by Stephen Tsai, a professor research emeritus in the Department of Aeronautics & Astronautics at Stanford, the book has three parts: Original papers on strength and life based principally on micromechanics of failure; elementary theory of composites, and basic reference on materials and processing; and a description of tools for design calculations.
