Description: Figure illustrations. NATO Science Series, Series E: Applied Sciences, Volume 361. From the preface: ''This contains the edited version of the lectures presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Mechanics of Composite Materials and Structures, held in Troia, Portugal, 12-24th of July 1998. This was attended by 102 participants from 21 countries, including leading scientists and engineering staff from universities, research institutions and industry, and Ph. D students. The Institute addressed the foundation and current state of art of the mechanics of composite materials and structures. Special emphasis was placed on classic and recent 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 were addressed, such as: numerical methods and optimization, identification and damage monitoring, and homogenization techniques for composite materials and structures. The state of the art for modeling of smart composite materials, optimal design with advanced material software codes, and industrial applications was also presented.'' BINDING/CONDITION: paperbound; the cover wants to spring open, and is slightly bent, otherwise in Very Good condition. 8vo (9.5 inches tall). 517 pages.

Synopsis

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. 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 optimisation, identification and damage monitoring. The latest 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 internationally recognised experts who have dedicated most of their research work to a particular field.
Readership: Postgraduate students, researchers and engineers in the field of composites. Undergraduate students will benefit from the treatment of the foundations of the mechanics of composite materials and structures.
