To take advantage of the full  potential of composite materials, structural analysts and designers  must have accurate mathematical models and design methods at their  disposal. \u003cbr\u003e  The objective of this monograph is to present the laminated plate  theories and their finite element models to study the deformation,  strength and failure of composite structures. Emphasis is placed on  engineering aspects, such as the analytical descriptions, effective  analysis tools, modeling of physical features, and evaluation of  approaches used to formulate and predict the response of composite  structures. \u003cbr\u003e  The first chapter presents an overview of the text. Chapter 2 is  devoted to the introduction of the definitions and terminology used in  composite materials and structures. Anisotropic constitutive relations  and Iaminate plate theories are also reviewed. Finite element models  of laminated composite plates are presented in Chapter 3. Numerical  evaluation of element coefficient matrices, post-computation of  strains and stresses, and sample examples of laminated plates in  bending and vibration are discussed. Chapter 4 introduces damage and  failure criteria in composite laminates. Finally, Chapter 5 is  dedicated to case studies involving various aspects and types of  composite structures. Joints, cutouts, woven composites, environmental  effects, postbuckling response and failure of composite laminates are  discussed by considering specific examples. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792311256\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-7995-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 213\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46606866743436,"sku":"9780792311256","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792311256.jpg?v=1773276727","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792311256","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
