This practical handbook covers the process of taking sheets of glass, decorating them by painting, sandblasting, cracking, shattering or etching, then covering them with another layer and fusing the layers together. Material, metal, paper etc can also be used as decoration between the layers. The process can be applied on a variety of scales, from very small (used for jewelery, etc) to large wall panels and room dividers. Since glass can be used along with a wide range of other materials there is great scope for mixed media projects.The book contains practical information as well as a history of the technique, industrial applications, use of a variety of materials, information about resins and pigments and a list of suppliers.

Practical Analysis of Composite Laminates presents a summary of the equations governing composite laminates and provides practical methods for analyzing most common types of composite structural elements. Experimental results for several types of structures are included while theoretical and experimental correlations are discussed. The last chapter is devoted to practical analysis using Designing Advanced Composites (DAC), a PC-based software on the subject. This comprehensive text can be used for a graduate course in mechanical engineering as well as a valuable reference for professionals in the field.

3-D textile reinforced composite materials are obtained by applying highly productive textile technologies in the manufacture of fibre preforms. The damage tolerance and impact resistance are increased as the trend to delamination is drastically diminished. This is because of the existence of reinforcements in the thickness direction. This book describes the manufacturing processes, highlights the advantages, identifies the main applications, analyses the methods for prediction of mechanical properties and examines the key technical aspects of 3-D textile reinforced composite materials.
