      abstract = {An original mechanical formulation to treat nonlinear  orthotropic behavior of composite materials is presented in  this book. It also examines different formulations that  allow us to evaluate the behavior of composite materials  through the composition of its components, obtaining a new  composite material. Also two multiple scale homogenization  methods are given, one based on the analytical study of the  cells (Ad-hoc homogenization), and other one, more general  based on the finite element procedure applied on the macro  scale (upper-scale) and in the micro scale (sub-scale). A  very general formulation to simulate the mechanical  behavior for traditional composite structures (plywood,  reinforced concrete, masonry, etc.), as well as the new  composite materials reinforced with long and short fibers,  nanotubes, etc., are also shown in this work. Typical  phenomena occurring in composite materials are also  described in this work, including fiber-matrix debounding,  local buckling of fibers and its coupling with the overall  buckling of the structure. Finally, several numerical  examples that evaluates the qualities and capabilities of  the general model formulated are offered in this book. This  book is intended for graduate engineering students who want  to expand their knowledge of composite structures  behavior.},
