Properties for Design of Composite Structures: Theory and Implementation Using Software (Hardcover)

PROPERTIES FOR DESIGN OF COMPOSITE STRUCTURES

A comprehensive guide to analytical methods and source code to predict the behavior of undamaged and damaged composite materials

In Properties for Design of Composite Structures: Theory and Implementation Using Software, distinguished researcher Dr. Neil McCartney delivers a unique and insightful approach to the development of predictive methods for the properties of undamaged and damaged laminated composite materials. The book focuses on presenting compact analytical formulae for several important effective properties--including mechanical, thermal, and electrical--that can be applied to a variety of reinforcement geometries.

The author introduces a compact notation that enables an explicit treatment of laminate property determination, including the out-of-plane shear properties required for three-dimensional numerical simulations of structural features using finite and boundary element analyses. There is also a detailed consideration of ply crack closure and a useful study of the interrelationships between the effective thermoelastic constants of damaged laminates.

The book also offers:

• A thorough introduction to the principles and formulae for homogenous materials and applications, including continuum and fracture concepts for homogeneous materials
• A comprehensive exploration of the properties of undamaged composites, including undamaged composite materials with multiple phases and the properties of a single undamaged lamina
• Practical discussions of the properties of damaged composites, including matrix cracking in UD composites and damaged laminates
• Consideration of effects of delamination, fatigue, and environmentally induced damage
• In-depth examinations of derivations of key results, including the analysis of bridged cracks and stress transfer mechanics for cross-ply and general symmetric laminates

Perfect for composite design engineers in all types of material-supplying industries and manufacturing companies, Properties for Design of Composite Structures: Theory and Implementation Using Software will also earn a place in the libraries of undergraduate and graduate students in engineering, aerospace, and materials departments.

《複合結構設計特性》

《複合結構設計特性：預測未損壞和損壞複合材料行為的分析方法和源代碼的全面指南》是一本由傑出研究者Neil McCartney博士撰寫的獨特而深入的書籍，探討了預測未損壞和損壞層壓複合材料特性的方法。該書主要介紹了幾種重要的有效特性的簡潔分析公式，包括機械、熱和電性，這些公式可以應用於各種增強幾何形狀。

作者引入了一種簡潔的符號表示法，可以明確處理層壓材料特性的確定，包括有限元和邊界元分析中用於三維結構特徵的平面外剪切特性。書中還詳細討論了層裂縫閉合和損壞層壓材料的有效熱彈性常數之間的相互關係。

該書還提供了以下內容：

- 對於均質材料和應用的原理和公式的全面介紹，包括均質材料的連續體和斷裂概念
- 對未損壞複合材料特性的全面探索，包括具有多相的未損壞複合材料和單一未損壞層片的特性
- 對損壞複合材料特性的實用討論，包括UD複合材料和損壞層壓材料中的基質開裂
- 考慮剝離、疲勞和環境引起的損壞效應
- 對關鍵結果的深入推導，包括對交叉層和一般對稱層壓材料的橋接裂紋分析和應力傳遞力學的研究

《複合結構設計特性：預測未損壞和損壞複合材料行為的分析方法和源代碼的全面指南》非常適合各種材料供應行業和製造公司的複合設計工程師，同時也適合工程、航空航天和材料學系的本科和研究生學生閱讀。

Neil McCartney graduated with a PhD in Mathematics from Manchester University in 1968 and spent the whole of his career at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) undertaking theoretical research associated with many aspects of materials science. He is currently an Emeritus Senior NPL Fellow. For many years he studied damage initiation and growth in unidirectional fibre reinforced composites and their laminates, with applications to multi-layered materials involving metals, ceramics, and polymers. His current work includes modelling of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and batteries, and of multi-layered piezoelectric systems subject to mechanical, thermal, and electrical stimulation. He was Visiting Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Surrey, March 1995 to 31 August 2010, and Visiting Professor in the Centre for Collaborative Research, The University of Tokyo, Japan, 1 February to 8 May 1999. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and a Chartered Mathematician.
