Books by J. N. Reddy

Offers coverage of the theories, analytical solutions, and linear and nonlinear finite element models of plate and shell laminated composite structures. This work includes a chapter dedicated to the theory and analysis of laminated shells. It contains discussions addressing smart structures and functionally graded materials.

Focuses on the advances in virtual prototyping and rapid manufacturing. This title presents 110 papers covering: biomanufacturing, CAD and 3D data acquisition technologies, materials, rapid tooling and manufacturing, advanced rapid prototyping technologies and nanofabrication, virtual environments and simulation, and novel applications.

Illustrates what a user must know to ensure the optimal application of computational procedures - particularly the Finite Element Method - to important problems associated with heat conduction, incompressible viscous flows, and convection heat transfer. This book presents realistic, applied examples of FEM in thermal and fluid design analysis.
