Advanced Mechanics of Composite Materials and Structural Elements Vasiliev 3e

Description: Advanced Mechanics of Composite Materials and Structural Elements Detailed analysis of the physical and mathematical principles, models and practical methods underpinning theory, engineering and design of composite materials, fully revised to encompass all-new discussion of beams, plates and shells Valery V. Vasiliev (Author), Evgeny V. Morozov (Author) 9780080982311 Hardback, published 4 July 2013 832 pages 23.5 x 19 x 4.1 cm, 1.85 kg "This graduate textbook introduces the traditional approaches to engineering the mechanics of structures made from the new composite materials that are very high in strength and stiffness in proportion to their weight… Previously published as Advanced Mechanics of Composite Materialsin 2007, the third edition adds four chapters on composite beams, plates, and cylindrical shells." --ProtoView.com, February 2014 "The third edition of the book consists of twelve chapters progressively covering all structural levels of composite materials from their constituents through elementary plies and layers to laminates and laminated composite structural elements. All-new coverage of beams, plates and shells adds significant currency to researchers." --MaterialsToday.com, December 16, 2013 Advanced Mechanics of Composite Materials and Structural Elements analyzes contemporary theoretical models at the micro- and macro levels of material structure. Its coverage of practical methods and approaches, experimental results, and optimization of composite material properties and structural component performance can be put to practical use by researchers and engineers. The third edition of the book consists of twelve chapters progressively covering all structural levels of composite materials from their constituents through elementary plies and layers to laminates and laminated composite structural elements. All-new coverage of beams, plates and shells adds significant currency to researchers. Composite materials have been the basis of many significant breakthroughs in industrial applications, particularly in aerospace structures, over the past forty years. Their high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios are the main material characteristics that attract the attention of the structural and design engineers. Advanced Mechanics of Composite Materials and Structural Elements helps ensure that researchers and engineers can continue to innovate in this vital field. 1. Introduction 2.
