Theory and Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates

Composite materials consist of two or more materials which together produce desirable properties that may not be achieved with any of the constituents alone. Fiber-reinforced composite materials, for example, consist of high strength and high modulus fibers in a matrix material. Reinforced steel bars embedded in concrete provide an example of fiber-reinforced composites. In these composites, fibers are the principal loadcarrying members, and the matrix material keeps the fibers together, acts as a load-transfer medium between fibers, and protects fibers from being exposed to the environment (e.g., moisture, humidity, etc.).
