Lecture notes on composite materials: current topics and achievements

This book presents the latest achievements in the field of composite materials modelling presented by the following authors: (1) Prof. H. Altenbach (Germany), (2) Prof. R. de Borst (The Netherlands), (3) prof. E. Craciun (Romania), (4) Prof. R. Pyrz (Denmark), (5) Prof. T.Sadowski (Poland). The text gives a modern, up-to-date account of recent developments in the modelling of composite materials. Multiscale concepts, which are the new paradigm in (computational) mechanics, are at the heart of this text, and are treated in detail in the first three chapters of the book. Other relevant developments are covered in the later chapters of the book, beginning with the most relevant issue of couplingstress analysis and diffusion phenomena that arise from hygral and/or thermalloading, which are of crucial importance of the short and long-term resistance of composite materials. There are no contemporary competing titles since allother (edited) books date from 2000 or before Modern mechanics concepts such as multiscale methods, issues such as multi-physics and modern ways to deal with damage and fracture are put together in a single volume for the first time INDICE: From the contents Holm Altenbach: Analysis of Homogeneous and Non-homogeneous Plates.
