FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE LAMINATES
FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITE LAMINATES
SOLID MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONSVolume 7Series Editor:G.M.L. GLADWELLSolid Mechanics Division, Faculty 0/ EngineeringUniversity o/WaterlooWaterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3GIAims and Scope ofthe SeriesThe fundamental questions arising in mechanics are: Why?, How?, and How much?The aim of this series is to provide lucid accounts written by authoritative researchers giving vision and insight in answering these questions on the subject ofmechanics as it relates to solids.The scope of the series covers the entire spectrum of solid mechanics. Thus itincludes the foundation of mechanics; variational formulations; computationalmechanics; statics, kinematics and dynamics of rigid and elastic bodies; vibrationsof solids and structures; dynamical systems and chaos; the theories of elasticity,plasticity and viscoelasticity; composite materials; rods, beams, shells andmembranes; structural control and stability; soils, rocks and geomechanics;fracture; tribology; experimental mechanics; biomechanics and machine design.The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts aremonographs defining the current state of the field; others are accessible to finalyear undergraduates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity.For a list o/related mechanics fitles, see final pages.
