Designing structures using composite materials poses unique challenges due especially to the need for concurrent design of both material and structure. By layering theoretical and conceptual discussions with developed examples, this title supplies the link between theory and implementation for the d[...]

Developed from the author's graduate-level course on advanced mechanics of composite materials, Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus(t) shows how powerful finite element tools address practical problems in the structural analysis of composites. Unlike other texts, this one take[...]
