Foreword
In composite materials, as in other sciences, we stand on the shoulders of giants, in our case the innovators mentioned by Dr. Goh at the start of his Preface. These researchers laid the foundations of our subject in the last decades of the 20th century. The subject is now changing in ways that our illustrious predecessors could only have guessed. We now have to take into account the increasing use of composites reinforced with nano-materials, natural fibre composites and the ongoing expansion of composites into the burgeoning field of bioengineering. New researchers, entering these fields for the first time, need a concise text which brings together all the previously developed ideas, to help them to understand and model the
