Book Description

1420054333 978-1420054330 August 1, 2007
Designing structures using composite materials poses unique challenges due especially to the need for concurrent design of both material and structure. Students are faced with two options: textbooks that teach the theory of advanced mechanics of composites, but lack computational examples of advanced analysis; and books on finite element analysis that may or may not demonstrate very limited applications to composites. But now there is third option that makes the other two obsolete: Ever J. Barbero's Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials.

By layering detailed theoretical and conceptual discussions with fully developed examples, this text supplies the missing link between theory and implementation. In-depth discussions cover all of the major aspects of advanced analysis, including three-dimensional effects, viscoelasticity, edge effects, elastic instability, damage, and delamination. More than 50 complete examples using mainly ANSYS™, but also including some use of MATLAB®, demonstrate how to use the concepts to formulate and execute finite element analyses and how to interpret the results in engineering terms. Additionally, the source code for each example is available for download online.

Cementing applied computational and analytical experience to a firm foundation of basic concepts and theory, Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials offers a modern, practical, and versatile classroom tool for today's engineering classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and useful, November 10, 2007
By 
Joan A. Mayugo Majo (Universitat de Girona, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials (Composite Materials: Design and Analysis) (Hardcover)
The book is an excellent text of composite materials analysis for graduate students and practising engineers. After an initial introduction to stress analysis and to finite element method the chapters introduce to the reader how to model composites with FE codes.

Each chapter is about different aspects or mechanisms that appear in composites (buckling, laminates, failure criteria, delamination, damage, micromechanics, etc.). The text mixes the theory with very useful examples. The examples permit to assimilate concepts (for the student). Also the examples become an perfect guideline to solve actual problems (for the engineer or the professional).

Therefore, the text provides a practical framework that allow the reader to improve and learn in several aspects: FE modelling, composites, ... and, also, to learn how to implement engineering problems in ANSYS and MatLab. The book is completed with the facilities and software that the author have available in the web site of the book [...] with source code of examples, solutions of the problems for instructor's, and videos to help the reader to implement the examples in ANSYS whit the Graphic Interface User.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, August 7, 2008
This review is from: Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials (Composite Materials: Design and Analysis) (Hardcover)
Dr. Barbero new book is probably the best book available for those, with some knowledge about composite materials, aiming to perform advanced numerical simulations of composite structures. It covers all main topics related to the simulation of these materials, from its mechanical characterization (either using an analytical approach, either using a homogenization method) to some of their most complex failure modes, such as delamination.

The book not only provides the theory required for simulating composite structures, but it is also full of examples in which the theory exposed is applied using a finite element code (ANSYS). This is one of the most compelling features of this book. Although having the examples particularized for ANSYS can seem as a drawback, they are so wisely commented that their implementation in any other finite element code becomes an easy task.

Summarizing, this is a must have book for all those engineers and researchers interested in the advance simulation of composite materials, that can be used as an introductory book as well as a consultation reference. A perfect complement to Barbero's first book: Introduction to Composite Materials Design (Materials Science & Engineering Series)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, April 4, 2008
This review is from: Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials (Composite Materials: Design and Analysis) (Hardcover)
The book contains interesting topics regarding the mechanics of composite structures. It is a useful tool for specialists involved in the framework of composite, as well as for students which need to practise with the main aspect of composite structures. The book analyzes in detail different aspects of composites such as Viscoelasticity, Bucking, Free Edge Stresses, Micromechanics, Damage mechanics, Delamination, ect., introducing examples and applications very easy to understand. All the subjects of the book are presented in detail from theoretical point of view introducing new concepts currently analyzed in the research. Moreover, very useful numerical examples based commercial programs to explain typical problems of composite structures are reported.
I really suggest this book.
