With a knowledge of the various types of composites, as well as an understanding of the dependence of their behaviors on the characteristics, relative amounts, geometry/distribution, and properties of the con-

property combinations that are better than those found in the metal alloys, ceramics, and polymeric materials. For example, in Design Example 16.1, we discuss how a tubular shaft is designed that meets
