This advanced text presents certain key aspects of inelastic solid mechanics centred around viscoelasticity, creep, viscoplasticity and plasticity. Divided into three parts consisting of the fundamentals of elasticity, useful constitutive laws and the applications to simple structural members, the book details the efficient conjunction of elastic and inelastic solid mechanics with the use of the correspondence principles linking viscoelasticity with elasticity.

This book balances introduction to the basic concepts of the mechanical behavior of composite materials and laminated composite structures. It covers topics from micromechanics and macromechanics to lamination theory and plate bending, buckling, and vibration, clarifying the physical significance of composite materials. In addition to the materials covered in the first edition, this book includes more theory-experiment comparisons and updated information on the design of composite materials.
