The textbook "Composite Materials" by Krishan K. Chawla in its third edition offers a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of composite materials. It addresses the essential aspects of processing, structure, and properties of these materials, providing a balanced representation of the materials science and mechanics of composites. This edition highlights the increasing use of composite materials in industry, particularly in the fields of aerospace and energy. A new chapter on non-conventional composites discusses various types of nanocomposites, self-healing composites, biocompatible materials, and laminate structures. The use of colored illustrations, new examples and problems, as well as an expanded coverage of specific applications, makes this book a valuable resource for students and professionals.
