Materials and Structures
This book bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and their implementations,
especially for the high-performance structures/components related to advanced
composite materials. This material focuses on the prediction of various structural
responses, such as deformations, natural frequencies, etc., of advanced composites
under complex environments and/or loading conditions. In addition, it discusses
micro-mechanical material modeling of various advanced composite materials that
involve different structures ranging from basic to advanced, such as beams, flats,
curved panels, shells, skewed, corrugated, and other materials, as well as various
solution techniques via analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical approaches.
This book:
• Covers micro-mechanical material modeling of advanced composite
materials
• Describes constitutive models of different composite materials and kine-
matic models of different structural configuration
• Discusses pertinent analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical techniques
• Focuses on structural responses relating to deformations, natural frequen-
cies, and critical loads under complex environments
• Presents actual demonstration of theoretical concepts as applied to real
examples using Ansys APDL scripts
This book is aimed at researchers, professionals, and graduate students in mechani-
cal engineering, material science, material engineering, structural engineering, aero-
space engineering, and composite materials.

Preface
In past few decades, composite materials have been utilized in various applications,
namely aerospace, biomedical, defense, sports, architecture sectors, etc., mainly
due to their light weight and flexibility in design. But the performance of traditional
composites is limited in hostile conditions. The development of advanced composite
materials can be exciting for the development of high-performance components. In
this context, to confirm the viability of such materials and their structures, in-depth
structural analysis is highly desirable.
This book focuses on the prediction of various structural responses such as defor-
mations, natural frequencies, critical loads, damage, etc., of advanced composites
under complex environment and/or loading conditions. In addition, this book
discusses:
• The micro-mechanical material modeling of various advanced composite
materials such as 2D/3D FGMs, nanocomposites, sandwich composites,
biocomposites, hybrid composites, etc.
• Different structures raging from basic to advanced, such as flat and curved
panel, shell, corrugated, perforated panels, etc.
• Various solution techniques via analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical
approaches.
This book aims to allow engineers and researchers to extend their basic knowledge of
composite materials to predict the structural behavior of novel composite materials
and their structures.
