This book treats the micromechanics of laminae, i.e., the prediction of the macroscopic mechanical lamina properties based on the mechanical properties of the c

A typical approach to treat composite materials, which are composed of layered unidirectional lamina, is the so-called classical laminate theory (CLT). This the

Residual stresses are a common phenomenon in composite materials. They can either add to or significantly reduce material strength. Because of the increasing de
