The Behavior Of Sandwich Structures Of Isotropic And Composite Materials

The Behavior of Sandwich Structures of Isotropic and Composite Materials presents the mathematics, descriptions, and analytical techniques in the growing field of sandwich structures. From a background in sandwich structures to thermoelastic problems of sandwich structures and sandwich shell theory, the book provides the knowledge needed to analyze, design, and

Composite structures and products have developed tremendously since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1986. This new edition of the now classic 1986 text has been written to educate the engineering reader in the various aspects of mechanics for using composite materials in the design and

Shell structures are used in all phases of structures, from space vehicles to deep submergence hulls, from nuclear reactors to domes on sport arenas and civic buildings. With new materials and manufacturing methods, curved thin walled structures are being used increasingly. This text is a graduate course in the theory

Plates and panels are primary components in many structures including space vehicles, aircraft, automobiles, buildings, bridge decks, ships and submarines. The ability to design, analyse, optimise and select the proper materials for these structures is a necessity for structural designers, analysts and researchers. This text consists of four parts. The

Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS). This collection of more than 204 peer-reviewed papers on Composite Science and Technology covers: mechanics of composites, infrastructural composites, non-destructive evaluation and characterization of composites, fracture and fatigue of composites, numerical and mathematical modelling, ceramic matrices, composites, metal-matrix composites, composite manufacturing, polymer

Space flight is a comprehensive and innovative part of technology. It encompasses many fields of technology. This monograph presents a cross section of the total field of expertise that is called "space flight". It provides an optimal reference with insight into the design, construction and analysis aspects of spacecraft. The

This title contains 24 papers from a November 2000 meeting, providing a survey of recent research in mechanics of sandwich structures. Technical papers cover a broad spectrum of research issues, including foam core failure behaviour, failure modes in sandwich structures under static and dynamic loading and more.

Books about Orientation Effects in the Mechanical Behavior of Anisotropic Structural Materials

"Structural and Failure Mechanics of Sandwich Composites" by Leif A. Carlsson and George A. Kardomateas focuses on some important deformation and failure modes of sandwich panels such as global buckling, wrinkling and local instabilities, and face/core debonding. The book also provides the mechanics background necessary for understanding deformation and failure
