| Finite Element Analysis: Thermomechanics of Solids
by David W. Nicholson (Author)
Finite element modeling has developed into one of the most important tools at an engineer's disposal, especially in applications involving nonlinearity. While engineers coping with such applications may have access to powerful computers and finite element codes, too often they lack the strong foundation in finite element analysis (FEA) that nonlinear problems require.Finite Element Analysis: Thermomechanics of Solids builds that foundation. It offers a comprehensive, unified presentation of FEA...

| Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity
by Anthony E. Armenàkas (Author)
This book presents both differential equation and integral formulations of boundary value problems for computing the stress and displacement fields of solid bodies at two levels of approximation - isotropic linear theory of elasticity as well as theories of mechanics of materials. Moreover, the book applies these formulations to practical solutions in detailed, easy-to-follow examples.
Advanced Mechanics of Materials and Applied Elasticity presents modern and classical methods of...

| Mechanics of Composite Materials, Second Edition (Mechanical Engineering)
by Autar K. Kaw (Author)
In 1997, Dr. Kaw introduced the first edition of Mechanics of Composite Materials, receiving high praise for its comprehensive scope and detailed examples. He also introduced the groundbreaking PROMAL software, a valuable tool for designing and analyzing structures made of composite materials. Updated and expanded to reflect recent advances in the field, this Second Edition retains all of the features-logical, streamlined organization, thorough coverage, and self-contained treatment-that made...

Product Description
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. |

A must have by Xavier Martinez (USA)  5 Stars
August 07, 2008
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)

Excellent Book by Alessandro Manna (Italy) 5 Stars
April 04, 2008
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.

Highly recommended by Guillermo J. CREUS (PORTO ALEGRE, RS Brazil) 5 Stars
December 06, 2007
The new book by Professor Ever J. Barbero, is a very useful addition to the library of any specialist or student in the area of Composites. It contains in 10 Chapters (Mechanics of Orthotropic Materials; Introduction to the Finite Element Method; Elasticity and Strength of Laminates; Buckling; Free Edge stresses; Computational Micromechanics; Viscoelasticity; Damage mechanics; Damage Model for Fiber Reinforced Composites; Delaminations) very well organized information, enriched by the author's experience in teaching and research. The formulation for each subject is presented together with useful information on numerical implementation, and a fair number of examples and proposed problems. The book is excellent both for course reading or self study.Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials

Comprehensive and useful by Joan A. Mayugo Majo (Universitat de Girona, Spain) 5 Stars
November 10, 2007
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.
