Preface to the second edition of mle The purpose of this text is to educate the engineering reader in the various aspects anics for using composite materials in the design and analysis of composite structures and product In Chapter I, the text acquaints the reader with the description of a composite material, and its constituents. Then, methods by which to manufacture composite materials are discussed, followed by a description of the uses of composite materials early in the twenty-first century. Chapter 2 provides the fundamentals of anisotropic elasticity, and the methods to characterize and mathematically describe composite laminae and laminates which are the building blocks"of composite structures. Also discussed are thermal, hygrothermal high strain rate and piezoelectric considerations in modern composites. Chapter 3 then deals exclusively with the static and dynamic response of composite plates and panels subjected to a variety of mechanical and environmental load in great detail. This includes stresses, deformations, buckling loads, natural frequencies d response to blast loads. Chapter 4 analogously treats a special case of the above, amely beams, columns and rods. In Chapter 5, cylindrical composite shells are discussed, both in determining the stresses and deformations due to static loads, but in treating the buckling of these shells under various loads and their combinations. The peculiar behavior of shells,(such as the bending boundary layer) compared to plates and beams is discussed in detail Because so many practical structural problems are too difficult or complex to structural design problems using energy principles and variational methods. Thus, the engineer can always obtain a solution to a problem Chapter 7 provides various strength and failure theories widely used today, and their comparison. Chapter 8 provides suggested ways to analyze and design adhesive bonded joints and mechanically fastened joints Chapter 9 has been added to provide a needed introduction to composite design Appendix I provides a discussion of micromechanics Appendix 2 list or most of the test standards for polymer matrix composite and Appendix 3 lists the mechanical properties of many composite in use today At the end of each chapter are numerous problems, which can be useful omework problems or modified for examination problems. Professors may contact authors for solutions to these problen student at the University of Delaware, who meticulously typed the text through its evolution. His accuracy, stamina and diligence are greatly appreciated.

Preface to the Second Edition The purpose of this text is to educate the engineering reader in the various aspects of mechanics for using composite materials in the design and analysis of composite structures and products. In Chapter 1, the text acquaints the reader with the description of a composite material, and its constituents. Then, methods by which to manufacture composite materials are discussed, followed by a description of the uses of composite materials early in the twenty-first century. Chapter 2 provides the fundamentals of anisotropic elasticity, and the methods to characterize and mathematically describe composite laminae and laminates which are the “building blocks” of composite structures. Also discussed are thermal, hygrothermal, high strain rate and piezoelectric considerations in modern composites. Chapter 3 then deals exclusively with the static and dynamic response of composite plates and panels subjected to a variety of mechanical and environmental loads in great detail. This includes stresses, deformations, buckling loads, natural frequencies and response to blast loads. Chapter 4 analogously treats a special case of the above, namely beams, columns and rods. In Chapter 5, cylindrical composite shells are discussed, both in determining the stresses and deformations due to static loads, but in treating the buckling of these shells under various loads and their combinations. The peculiar behavior of shells, (such as the bending boundary layer) compared to plates and beams is discussed in detail. Because so many practical structural problems are too difficult or complex to obtain analytical solutions, Chapter 6 provides in-depth knowledge of attacking real life structural design problems using energy principles and variational methods. Thus, the engineer can always obtain a solution to a problem. Chapter 7 provides various strength and failure theories widely used today, and their comparison. Chapter 8 provides suggested ways to analyze and design adhesive bonded joints and mechanically fastened joints. Chapter 9 has been added to provide a needed introduction to composite design philosophy. Appendix 1 provides a discussion of micromechanics basics; Appendix 2 lists all or most of the test standards for polymer matrix composite and Appendix 3 lists the mechanical properties of many composite in use today. At the end of each chapter are numerous problems, which can be useful as homework problems or modified for examination problems. Professors may contact the authors for solutions to these problems. Appreciation is hereby expressed to James T. Arters, an engineering student at the University of Delaware, who meticulously typed the text through its evolution. His accuracy, stamina and diligence are greatly appreciated. Appreciation is also expressed to Dr. Gregg Schoeppner for his contributions to Chapter 1 and the Appendices, and to Ms. Jill O’Donnell for her manuscript reading. Jack R. Vinson Robert L.

Preface to the First Edition While currently available tests dealing with the subject of high performance composite materials touch upon a spectra of topics such as mechanical metallurgy physical metallurgy, micromechanics and macromechanics of such systems, it is the specific purpose of this text to examine elements of the mechanics of structural components composed of composite materials. This text is intended for use in training engineers in this new technology and rational thought processes necessary to develop a better understanding of the behavior of such material systems for use as structural The concepts are further exploited in terms of the structural format and development to which the book is dedicated. To this end the development progresses systematically by first introducing the notion and concepts of what these new material classes are, the fabrication processes involved and their unique features relative to conventional monolithic materials. Such introductory remarks, while far too short in texts of this type, appear necessary as a precursor for engineers to develop a better understanding for design purposes of both the threshold limits to which the properties of such systems can be pushed a swell as the practical limitations on their manufacture Following these introductory remarks, an in-depth discussion of the important differences between composites and conventional monolithic material types is discussed in terms of developing the concepts associated with directional material properties. That is, the ideas of anisotropic elasticity for initially homogeneous bodies in the phenomenological sense are described and presented. The use of such analytical tools is then presented through exemplification of selected problems for a number of classical ype problems of various geometric shapes including plane stress, plane strain and the bending of a simply suppor rted beam These ideas are carried forward and developed for continuous fiber composites in Chapter Two which discusses both single ply laminae and multi-ply laminate theory This is then followed by a series of chapters, each of which deals with functional aspect of structural design in which the basic building blocks of a structural system are made. That is, plates and panels; beams, columns and rods; and cylindrical and spherical shells are each discussed within the framework of their potential use in a functional environment. Thus the traditional topics of conventional monolithic (isotropic)material structural elements such as structures subjected to static loads, thermal and other environmental loads, structural instability and vibratory reso materials included along with hapters on energy methods and failure theories of composi Energy methods have been included to present a tool for solving difficult problems of various types encountered in practice. Indeed, in many instances closed form solutions are not possible and approximate solutions must be sought. Energy methods thus provide both an alternative for the formulation of such problems plus means of generating approximate solutions The chapter on failure theories is a generic presentation in the senses that any and/or all of the above structural components consisting of various multi-ply construction an fail when subjected to a sufficiently large loading combination.

The chapter on failure theories is a generic presentation in the senses that any and/or all of the above structural components consisting of various multi-ply construction can fail when subjected to a sufficiently large loading combination. It is emphasized that the failure of composites is a complicated, changing issue because of the diverse ways in which such structural systems can fail due both to the geometric ply arrangement of the
components, complicated load paths, and the diversity of failure mechanisms which can be activated. Therefore, this should serve in a global sense at best as a guide to the prediction of structural integrity, while more common and accep phenomenological failure theories are being developed Finally, a chapter on joining is included to discuss to some detail the two methods y which composite material structural components can be joined: namely, adhesive bonding and mechanical fastening. Again, the material presented is an introduction to the ubject which is rapidly changing and developing At the end of each chapter are several problems, charact covered which can be used.
