{"product_id":"9781441931245","title":"Composite Materials: Science and Engineering","description":"\u003ch1\u003eComposite Materials: Science and Engineering\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eChawla, Krishan K.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first edition of this book came out in 1987, offering an integrated cov­ erage of the field of composite materials. I am gratified at the reception it receivedat the hands of the students and faculty. The second edition follows the same format as the first one, namely, a well-balanced treatment of materials and mechanics aspects of composites, with due recognition of the importance of the processing. The second edition is a fully revised, updated, and enlarged edition of this widely used text. There are some new chapters, and others have been brought up-to-date in light of the extensivework done in the decade since publication of the first edition. Many people who used the first edition as a classroom text urged me to include some solved exam­ ples. In deference to their wishes I have done so. I am sorry that it took me such a long time to prepare the second edition. Things are happening at a very fast pace in the field of composites, and there is no question that a lot of very interesting and important work has been done in the past decade or so. Out of necessity, one must limit the amount of material to be included in a textbook. In spite of this view, it took me much more time than I antici­ pated. In this second edition, I have resisted the temptation to cover the whole waterfront.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-01\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441931245\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-2966-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 483\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358598754444,"sku":"9781441931245","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441931245.jpg?v=1775766385","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781441931245","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
