The six-volume Delaware composites design encyclopedia provides basic knowledge about the design and analysis of composite materials and structures. It is intended for use by engineers, material scientists, designers, and other technical personnel involved in the applications of composite materials to industrial products. Volume 6, Test methods, contains a review of test methods (ASTM standards and guides) for characterizing constituent properties, composite thermomechanical properties, and physical properties.
