Introduction to Composite Materials. Volume I. Deformation of Unidirectional and Laminated Composites.

摘要

This volume is intended to provide the basic derivations of equations needed for the elastic behavior of unidirectional and laminated composites. The modulus and compliance as functions of ply properties, angle of orientations, and stacking sequence of facing materials are all derived and shown in matrix multiplication tables. The only prerequisite for this volume is a course in strength of materials. All derivations are done in algebra. Matrix and tensor operations are not used. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the equations and their applications. (Author)
