Advice for Book 1

[Spirit]

Hi all, I am rather new at Composites, so I would be grateful to anybody who could tell me some titles of books on the topic (there are a lot, that is the problem). A site with similar resources would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanx.

Composite Airframe Structures, Michael Niu.
Composite MAterials for Aircraft Structures, Hoskin and Baker (Cheaper if your an AIAA member and get it from AIAA)
Anything by Martin Holman.

And last but not least:

Thanks a lot Astroclone, really useful info and links. I tried to give you a star, but something is wrong in the site... thanks anyway!!!

Try: Engineered Materials Handbook, Volume One: "Composites," ASM International (Materials Park, OH; 1987).

Also try Structural Analysis of Laminated Anisotropic Plates by James Whitney.

and

Engineering Mechanics of Composite Materials by Isaac M. Daniel and Ori Ishai.

Both were helpful to me.
