The objective of this book is to introduce the governing principles of the stiffness and strength of uni- and multi-directional composite materials. It is intended as a textbook at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It can also serve as a reference for the engineers in industry. A course in strength of materials provides the desired background. We hope to show that composite materials are conceptually simple. They offer unique opportunities in design beyond being lighter substitutes of conventional materials. The structural performance offered by composite materials is much more versatile than can be realized with conventional materials. We can put such versatility to our advantage in design through a full comprehension of the principles governing their structural behavior. An elucidation of these principles is the underlying theme of our book.
