Abstract

Composite design starts with the evaluation of existing materials and their properties. The initial intent is to determine what fits with the application needs. Material properties for the constituents are assembled in handbooks, database, web sites, trade association publications, and commercial programs. Several sources are listed as references [1–31]. Software programs are effective since the data collections include a broad range of candidates. Data from these resources are employed in this chapter to illustrate a diverse range of examples [15, 32–41]. It is immediately clear that thousands of material options are available.
