Description
Composite materials have been representing most significant breakthroughs in various industrial applications, particularly in aerospace
structures, during the past thirty five years. The primary goal of Advanced Mechanics of Composite Materials is the
combined presentation of advanced mechanics, manufacturing technology, and analysis of composite materials. This approach lets the engineer
take into account the essential mechanical properties of the material itself and special features of practical implementation, including
manufacturing technology, experimental results, and design characteristics. Giving complete coverage of the topic: from basics and fundamentals
to the advanced analysis including practical design and engineering applications. At the same time including a detailed and comprehensive
coverage of the contemporary theoretical models at the micro- and macro- levels of material structure, practical methods and approaches,
experimental results, and optimisation of composite material properties and component performance. The authors present the results of
more than 30 year practical experience in the field of design and analysis of composite materials and structures.
