Features: This book systematically introduces the formulated meso-mechanics theory for analyzing and solving the elastic-plastic and ultimate strength properties of fiber-reinforced composite materials, including the elastic constants of unidirectional composites, bridging models, the strength of unidirectional composites, the stiffness and strength of laminates, thermal stress calculations, and computer programs. Based on the theory presented in this book, readers only need to know the performance parameters of fibers and matrices, as well as geometric data such as fiber volume content, to predict the maximum load-carrying capacity of composite laminate structures under any loading conditions. This book can serve as both a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in relevant fields and a supplementary teaching material for university "Mechanics of Materials," as well as a reference book for researchers and engineering technicians in aerospace, mechanics, civil engineering, transportation, chemical engineering, shipbuilding, automotive, mechanical engineering, and material science.
