This is the only finite element analysis book on the market using ANSYS(R) to analyze composite materials. Combining theory of advanced mechanics of composites with implementation, the text covers major aspects of advanced analysis, including three-dimensional effects, viscoelasticity, edge effects, elastic instability, damage, and delamination. This second edition of a bestseller has been completely revised to incorporate advances in the state of the art in such areas as modeling of damage in composites. In addition, all 50+ examples have been updated for the newest ANSYS version.
