Practical Analysis of Composite Laminates
Author: J. N. ReddyPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1351423053
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Composite materials are increasingly used in aerospace, underwater, and automotive structures. They provide unique advantages over their metallic counterparts, but also create complex challenges to analysts and designers. Practical Analysis of Composite Laminates presents a summary of the equations governing composite laminates and provides practical methods for analyzing most common types of composite structural elements. Experimental results for several types of structures are included, and theoretical and experimental correlations are discussed. The last chapter is devoted to practical analysis using Designing Advanced Composites (DAC), a PC-based software on the subject. This comprehensive text can be used for a graduate course in mechanical engineering, and as a valuable reference for professionals in the field.

Energy Absorption of Structures and Materials
Author: G LuPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1855738589
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
This important study focuses on the way in which structures and materials can be best designed to absorb kinetic energy in a controllable and predictable manner. Understanding of energy absorption of structures and materials is important in calculating the damage to structures caused by accidental collision, assessing the residual strength of structures after initial damage and in designing packaging to protect its contents in the event of impact. Whilst a great deal of recent research has taken place into the energy absorption behaviour of structures and materials and significant progress has been made, this knowledge is diffuse and widely scattered. This book offers a synthesis of the most recent developments and forms a detailed and comprehensive view of the area. It is an essential reference for all engineers concerned with materials engineering in relation to the theory of plasticity, structural mechanics and impact dynamics. - Important new study of energy absorption of engineering structures and materials - Shows how they can be designed to withstand sudden loading in a safe, controllable and predictable way - Illuminating case studies back up the theoretical analysis
Structural Failure

Languages : en
Pages : 586
Book Description
Structural Failure, Edited by Tomasz Wierzbicki and Norman Jones The decline of our urban infrastructure is, perhaps more than ever, a cause of national concern. And this in-depth look describes the confluence of factors that make structural failure inevitable-as well as avoidable. The failure process is viewed as a three-tiered phenomenon: micro, or material, level failure; through-thickness failure; and global structural failure. Leading experts examine the interactive processes that underlie structural failure, covering such specifics as fracturing, fragmentation, tearing of thin metal sheets, impact loading, failure of brittle material, collapse of thin-walled structures, bending and denting failure, as well as a variety of additional loading conditions, both static and dynamic. Critical to safety-enhanced product development in mechanical design, aerospace structures, building structures, and product packaging, this important reference catalogs for design engineers the measures and means for predicting, resisting, and controlling structural failure.

Pages : 17
Book Description
The main component of a lightweight missile launcher is a cylindrical tube which is formed by a helical winding of glass filaments embedded in epoxy resin. In service, the tube is subjected to extreme internal pressure. Consequently, knowledge concerning the mechanisms of failure under pressure is vital to the analysis and design of these tubes. This report identifies the mechanisms of failure and offers appropriate methods to compute the ultimate pressure. (Author).
