From the reviews:

"Voyiadjis and Kattan have written an exercise book for the use of the computer package MATLAB and they demonstrate the use of MATLAB in selected simple fields of Mechanics of Composite Materials. ... it is useful for students who like to receive an introduction into MATLAB and to connect the solution of problems using MATLAB with the step-by-step solutions of simple composite material problems." (Johannes Altenbach, Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Vol. 86 (6), 2006)
