Acknowledgments
The authors acknowledge with pleasure the assistance of Dr. George Sherrick, Ms. Maria
Lee, and Mr. Ron Martin of Rockwell, North American Aircraft Division, Tulsa, in
collecting and checking source codes and preparing a scanned compendium of user’s
guides; and Ms. Barbara Burg of Rockwell Science Center, who worked for many hours
with unflagging good humour in editing the final version.
They are especially indebted to Dr. Charles E. Harris and Mr. C.C. (Buddy) Poe of
NASA Langley, whose vision in assembling the Textiles Working Group within the
Advanced Composites Technology program provided the background out of which the
handbook grew.
Drs. Tsu-Wei Chou, Ramesh Marrey, Rajiv Naik, Chris Pastore, Kishore Pochiraju, I. S.
Raju, Bhavani Sankar, and John Whitcomb cooperated very graciously in supplying their
codes and documentation.
