“This new book is an excellent practical reference. The section on "General Disadvantages of Composite Materials" is particularly unique and useful, as are comments on analysis accuracy vs. risk of failure. The discussion of various failure criteria is superior to that found in other references, in this reviewer's opinion. The bonded joint chapters and discussion of bonded vs bolted joint design pros/cons are also an improvement over existing literature. Finally, Part 2 on requirements and substantiation is not widely available in the open literature, at least in such a simplified and readable format.” (from Amazon)

Practical Analysis of Aircraft Composites is a comprehensive guide to the analysis of composite aircraft materials,combining theory with proven practical approaches. Invaluable to both practicing professionals and academics, Practical Analysis of Aircraft Composites covers a wide variety of topics including:Basic mechanics of composite materials Principles of Classical Laminate TheoryUnnotched strength prediction and notched strength prediction Analysis methods for mechanically fastened joints Bonded joint analysis for both metal and composite adherends Stability solutions for laminated plates and built-up structures Composite beams and sandwich structures Unique mechanical properties of composites Structural requirements and structural substantiation for aircraft composites Practical aspects for Durability and Damage Tolerance (DaDT) Standard design practices for laminates, joints, and sandwich structures
