This graduate level textbook is intended to help students develop skills in solving problems of product performance and engineering difficulties encountered in the development of fiber-based materials like paper and board. Subjects in the text include paper as an engineering material, packaging performance, fracture properties, web dynamics in paper transport systems, statistical aspects of paper product failure, moisture-induced deformations, micromechanics, and wood biocomposites. The book is intended for readers with a solid understanding of general engineering mechanics, mathematical concepts, and numerical modeling methods. Editor Niskanen (Fibre Science and Communication Network, Mid Sweden U.) and 10 co-authors contributed to the textbook. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
