[Preface] The emergence and widespread application of fiber-reinforced composites have posed new challenges to conventional testing technologies. These technologies rely on various material testing machines, which were initially developed primarily for homogeneous materials like isotropic metals. How to apply these material testing machines and related testing technologies to anisotropic fiber-reinforced composites has become a common concern for researchers. This book addresses the question just raised through detailed introductions and discussions by multiple experts. Since it is difficult to change material testing machines, solutions must be sought in (jiaju - fixtures), loading methods, sample geometry, and dimensions. The book covers almost all experimental methods for fiber composites, almost like a manual for testing fiber composites. Each author strives to introduce their valuable experience to readers in a meticulous manner, and readers can notice this through careful reading. In fact, every tiny detail during the testing process can be as important as seemingly critical aspects. Because it can have a significant or minor impact on the test results. As the book's editors stated in the introduction, "It should be remembered that poor experiments are not worth doing, but even the best experiments can be done poorly—everything lies in the details."
