Abstract

This chapter introduces the major concept of composite material, i.e., the combination of different components, to obtain in total much better properties than a single component for itself. The focus is on fiber-reinforced composites where a single layer has unidirectionally aligned reinforcing fibers. The chapter concludes with a brief literature review related to textbooks which cover the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced materials.
