The use of composite materials in engineering structures continues to increase dramatically, and there have been equally significant advances in modeling for general and composite materials and structures in particular. To reflect these developments, renowned author, educator, and researcher J.N. Reddy created an enhanced second edition of his standard-setting Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells: Theory and Analysis.
This edition includes:
- A chapter dedicated to the theory and analysis of laminated shells
- Discussions addressing smart structures and functionally graded materials
- Reorganization of chapters that improves and clarifies presentation
- Additional exercises and examples
A timelessly valuable resource, this book approaches the subject primarily in terms of the finite element method. It provides incomparably full, self-contained coverage of the theories, analytical solutions, and linear and nonlinear finite element models of plate and shell laminated composite structures.
"[R]enowned author, educator, and researcher J.N. Reddy has thoroughly revised, updated, and enhanced his standard-setting [book]. … Worked examples in each chapter and more than 300 figures help illustrate difficult concepts, deepen understanding, and demonstrate typical applications … . … Simply put, no other book is as up to date. No other book approaches the subject primarily from the finite element method, and no other book provides such full, self-contained coverage of the theories, analytical solutions, and modeling of laminated composite plate and shell structures."
- Apollit, Oct. 2004
"This is an authoritative text. It belongs on the shelf of every person working in composite structures, whether or not their research is in theory and analysis of composite structures… It provides much needed material in the analysis of smart structures and functionally gradient materials as well as on shell structures."
