Composite Design Techniques: Fiber-based Materials

[Shawnzyoo]

I am not sure if this is exactly the right place but it works either way.
I am interested in learning more about Composite Design Techniques
mainly fiber based materials (carbon, kevlar, fiberglass, ect...)
does anyone here know of any good resources/books that focus predominantly upon this area?
thank you

I believe there are various texts on materials, which discuss composities, and there are some devoted to composite systems. I'll try to dig up some references.

Meanwhile, check out these references -

Composite Materials Design - http://www.mse.mtu.edu/~drjohn/my4150/

Introduction to Composite Materials Design (Text) - http://www.mae.wvu.edu/~barbero/icmd.html

Some books have found usable ...

Chung - Carbon Fibre Composites
Staab - Laminar Composites
Military Handbooks have a lot of info concerning composites
Handbook of Composites - Peters
Processing of Composites - Dave & Raju

... and then there are lots of general works about high temperature composites, ceramic & carbon-carbon etc. ones, smart materials and so on if you're into that sort of stuff (?).
