Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells: Theory and Analysis, Second Edition
The use of composite materials in engineering structures continues to increase dramatically, and there have been equally significant advances in modeling for general and composite materials and structures in particular. To reflect these developments, renowned author, educator, and researcher J.N. Reddy created an enhanced second edition of his standard-setting Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells: Theory and Analysis.\ This edition includes:\ \ A chapter dedicated to the theory...

The use of composite materials in engineering structures continues to increase dramatically, and in the seven years since the first edition of this book appeared, advances in materials modeling in general and composite materials and structures in particular have been just as significant. To reflect these developments, renowned author, educator, and researcher J.N. Reddy has thoroughly revised, updated, and enhanced his standard-setting Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells: Theory and Analysis.New in the Second Edition:A new chapter dedicated to the theory and analysis of laminated shellsNew discussions addressing smart structures and functionally graded materialsThorough updates to all chapters and a reorganization of chapters that improves the clarity of the presentationAdditional exercises and examplesNo other book is as up to date. No other book approaches the subject primarily from the finite element method. And no other book provides such full, self-contained coverage of the theories, analytical solutions, and linear and nonlinear finite element models of plate and shell laminated composite structures.
