Mechanics of Laminated Composite PlatesTheory and Analysis

Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates: Theory and Analysis presents detailed coverage of traditional theories and higher-order theories of laminated composite materials. Much of the text is based on the author's original work on refined theories of laminated composite plates and shells, and analytical and finite element solutions. The text also contains a review of the basics of composite materials, making it suitable for introductory and graduate-level courses, as well as a valuable reference.
