Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials Using Ansys

This is the only finite element analysis book on the market using ANSYS^(R) to analyze composite materials. Combining theory of advanced mechanics of composites with implementation, the text covers major aspects of advanced analysis, including three-dimensional effects, viscoelasticity, edge effects, elastic instability, damage, and delamination. This second edition of a bestseller has been completely revised to incorporate advances in the state of the art in such areas as modeling of damage in composites. In addition, all 50+ examples have been updated for the newest ANSYS version.
