Beschreibung

Hardcover. This is a concise presentation of the foundations, current state of the art, recent developments and research directions of all essential techniques related to the mechanics of composite materials and structures. Special emphasis is placed on classic and recently-developed theories of composite laminated beams, plates and shells, micromechanics, impact and damage analysis, mechanics of textile structural composites, high strain rate testing and non-destructive testing of composite materials and structures. Topics of growing importance are addressed, such as: numerical methods and optimization, identification and damage monitoring. Results are presented on the art of modelling smart composites, optimal design with advanced materials, and industrial applications. Each section of the book is written by leading specialists who have dedicated most of their research work to a particular field. Readership: Postgraduate students, researchers and engineers in the filed of composites. Undergraduate students will benefit from the treatment of the foundations of the mechanics of composite materials and structures. A compact presentation of the foundations, current state of the art, recent developments and research directions of all essential techniques related to the mechanics of composite materials and structures. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
