Reviews

""The revised Second edition of the book summarises the latest research and developments in the design, manufacture and performance of composite components for aerospace structures. The 19 contributions from the leading experts in the field are grouped into three parts. Each contribution is generously illustrated with figures, tables and diagrams, some of which are printed in colour, with extensive references and sources of further information and advice. The book provides a valuable reference resource for engineers, scientists and designers working in the development of composite components in the aerospace industry and will undoubtedly help them develop better understanding of the latest research advances in the field."" --The Aeronautical Journal
