Composite materials are increasingly finding use in diverse applications with a wide range of property and performance requirements. Light weight, high specific strength and stiffness represent the main features that make composite materials most suitable for structural applications. This refers to the concurrent manipulation of the materials composition and internal architecture of a composite material to achieve the desired properties. The ability to optimally tailor composite materials is of much importance for structural applications. A systematic approach to optimal tailoring of composite materials is a challenging design problem. Focus on the practical design aspects should be considered, and this is what is being addressed in this special topic volume.
