DAMAGE ANALYSIS OF UNIDIRECTIONALCOMPOSITE LAMINATES

The application of composite is increasing in the every field of Engineering from structural to aviation and from automobile engineering to biomedical science. The main concern with the composite is the low velocity impact damage. This book gives detailed understanding of damage and stress analysis of unidirectional composite plate and shell under static and dynamic loads. This text shall also provide continuum-based degenerated 16-noded shell finite element with shape function.
