Practical Analysis of Composite Laminates presents a summary of the equations governing composite laminates and provides practical methods for analyzing most common types of composite structural elements. Experimental results for several types of structures are included while theoretical and experimental correlations are discussed. The last chapter is devoted to practical analysis using Designing Advanced Composites (DAC), a PC-based software on the subject. This comprehensive text can be used for a graduate course in mechanical engineering as well as a valuable reference for professionals in the field.

3-D textile reinforced composite materials are obtained by applying highly productive textile technologies in the manufacture of fibre preforms. The damage tolerance and impact resistance are increased as the trend to delamination is drastically diminished. This is because of the existence of reinforcements in the thickness direction. This book describes the manufacturing processes, highlights the advantages, identifies the main applications, analyses the methods for prediction of mechanical properties and examines the key technical aspects of 3-D textile reinforced composite materials.

Recent advances in the study of the dynamic behavior of layered materials in general, and laminated fibrous composites in particular, are presented in this book. The need to understand the microstructural behavior of such classes of materials has brought a new challenge to existing analytical tools. This book explores the fundamental question of how mechanical waves propagate and interact with layered anisotropic media. The chapters are organized in a logical sequence depending upon the complexity of the physical model and its mathematical treatment.
