This book has been arranged consistently to present the mechanics
of composite materials using Cartesian tensors as a shorthand. It introduces
students to the fundamental concepts of the mechanical behavior of composite
materials. In addition, it provides a solid foundation for further study and re-
research. This book is based on a one-semester graduate course that I give. It
is intented as a graduate level textbook. However, it may be used by students,
researchers and practicing engineers for reference.
