Book Finite Element Analysis of Composite Laminates

Download or read book Finite Element Analysis of Composite Laminates written by O.O. Ochoa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composite materials are increasingly used in aerospace, underwater, and automotive structures. To take advantage of the full potential of composite materials, structural analysts and designers must have accurate mathematical models and design methods at their disposal. The objective of this monograph is to present the laminated plate theories and their finite element models to study the deformation, strength and failure of composite structures. Emphasis is placed on engineering aspects, such as the analytical descriptions, effective analysis tools, modeling of physical features, and evaluation of approaches used to formulate and predict the response of composite structures. The first chapter presents an overview of the text. Chapter 2 is devoted to the introduction of the definitions and terminology used in composite materials and structures. Anisotropic constitutive relations and Iaminate plate theories are also reviewed. Finite element models of laminated composite plates are presented in Chapter 3. Numerical evaluation of element coefficient matrices, post-computation of strains and stresses, and sample examples of laminated plates in bending and vibration are discussed. Chapter 4 introduces damage and failure criteria in composite laminates. Finally, Chapter 5 is dedicated to case studies involving various aspects and types of composite structures. Joints, cutouts, woven composites, environmental effects, postbuckling response and failure of composite laminates are discussed by considering specific examples.

Book Laminated Composite Plates and Shells

Download or read book Laminated Composite Plates and Shells written by Jianqiao Ye and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laminated Composite Plates and Shells presents a systematic and comprehensive coverage of the three-dimensional modelling of these structures. It uses the state space approach to provide novel tools for accurate three-dimensional analyses of thin and thick structural components composed of laminated composite materials. In contrast to the traditional treatment of laminated materials, the state space method guarantees a continuous interfacial stress field across material boundaries. Other unique features of the analysis include the non-dependency of a problem's degrees of freedom on the number of material layers of a laminate. Apart from the introductions to composite materials, three-dimensional elasticity and the concept of state space equations presented in the first three chapters, the book reviews available analytical and numerical three-dimensional state space solutions for bending, vibration and buckling of laminated composite plates and shells of various shapes. The applications of the state space method also include the analyses of piezoelectric laminates and interfacial stresses near free edges. The book presents numerous tables and graphics that show accurate three-dimensional solutions of laminated structural components. Many of the numerical results presented in the book are important in their own right and also as test problems for validating new numerical methods. Laminated Composite Plates and Shells will be of benefit to all materials and structural engineers looking to understand the detailed behaviour of these important materials. It will also interest academic scientists researching that behaviour and engineers from more specialised fields such as aerospace which are becoming increasingly dependent on composites.

Book A Refined Nonlinear Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells

Download or read book A Refined Nonlinear Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells written by Junuthula Narasimha Reddy and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This final technical report summarizes in a compact form the results of a two-year research program on the development of refined shear deformation theories of plates and shells, and their analytical solutions. The detailed results are reported in various reports and technical papers during the course of the project. A third-order, nonlinear shear deformation shell theory and finite element model that accounts for parabolic distribution of transverse shear stresses through thickness and the von Karman nonlinear strains was developed during an investigation sponsored by NASA Langley Research Center during the first year of this research. The most significant contributions of this research are: 1. The development of analytical solutions of the linear theory for various boundary conditions. The space-time concept is used to develop such solutions. 2. The development of finite element models for first-ply and post-first-ply failure analysis.

Book Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells

Download or read book Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells written by J. N. Reddy and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1996-11-19 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composite materials are used in all kinds of engineering structures, medical prosthetic devices, electronic circuit boards, and sports equipment. The subject of these materials is an interdisciplinary area where chemists, material scientists, and chemical, mechanical, and structural engineers contribute to the overall product. This book presents, for the first time, 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. In addition, the book reviews the basics including mathematical preliminaries, virtual work principles, and variational methods. Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates: Theory and Analysis makes a great textbook for graduate-level courses on theory and/or analysis of composite laminates, and can be conveniently divided into two sections: Chapters 1-8 for an introductory course, and 9-13 for the advanced course.

Book Numerical and Computer Methods in Structural Mechanics

Download or read book Numerical and Computer Methods in Structural Mechanics written by Steven J. Fenves and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical and Computer Methods in Structural Mechanics is a compendium of papers that deals with the numerical methods in structural mechanics, computer techniques, and computer capabilities. Some papers discus the analytical basis of the computer technique most widely used in software, that is, the finite element method. This method includes the convergence (in terms of variation principles) isoparametrics, hybrid models, and incompatible displacement models. Other papers explain the storage or retrieval of data, as well as equation-solving algorithms. Other papers describe general-purpose structural mechanics programs, alternatives to, and extension of the usual finite element approaches. Another paper explores nonlinear, dynamic finite element problems, and a direct physical approach to determine finite difference models. Special papers explain structural mechanics used in computing, particularly, those related to integrated data bases, such as in the Structures Oriented Exchange System of the Office of Naval Research and the integrated design of tanker structures. Other papers describe software and hardware capabilities, for example, in ship design, fracture mechanics, biomechanics, and crash safety. The text is suitable for programmers, computer engineers, researchers, and scientists involved in materials and industrial design.

The computer codes corresponding to these two methods were also devel-oped and tested. Both programs are capable of treating thin or thick plates and shell structures. Shells with branches and cutouts can be treated. The outputs of the present computer programs are designed such that they can be easily adapted to any of the existing criteria for the strength of laminated composites. A SURVEY OF SUCH CRITERIA IS PRESENTED. (Author, modified-PL).
