## Description

desertcart.com: An Introduction to Composite Materials: 9780521860956: Clyne, T. W., Hull, D.: Books

Review: Excellent book - Excellent book
Review: Thorough, hype free, and dense. Could use some more materials science content - I am using this as a recommended (but not required textbook) for a graduate class. Ths is a very thorough as systematic textbook that walks a fine balance between understanding and mathematical emphasis of the mechanical properties of composites. I truly appreciate the hype free presentation of the nanocomposites chapter. Every gradaute student that intends to go into research of such materials should read this chapter early in their graduate career. I would have liked a little more information about the materials science aspects of matrix and fiber material (even if that would increase the volume of the book). Finally the presentation is rather dense in some areas and maybe difficult to follow for upper class undergraduates or early graduate students. This is great book - a must have for many students and faculty.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Completed grad course with this book
*by P***R on January 8, 2013*

I just purchased this book and will update this review once the semester is over. I will be using this book with Mathematica for a graduate course. This was a good book for my composites class. I read 90 percent of this book for my class and it helped to understand the topics of composite materials. This book was not very useful for the mathematics of composites and I had to reference several other books to get better understanding.
