Product Description:
Composites are used extensively in engineering applications. A constant concern is the effect of foreign object impacts on composite structures because significant damage can occur and yet be undetectable by visual inspection. Such impacts can range from the most ordinary at low velocity--a tool dropped on a product--to the hypervelocity impact of space debris on a spacecraft. This book explains how damage develops during impact, the effect of impact-induced damage on the mechanical behavior of structures, and methods of damage prediction and detection. Numerous examples are included to illustrate these topics. Written for graduate students, as well as researchers and practicing engineers working with composite materials, this book presents state-of-the-art knowledge on impact dynamics while requiring only basic understanding of the mechanics of composite materials.
• First book on a rapidly expanding field of study • Comprehensive coverage of the subject • Presents state-of-the-art knowledge but requires only a basic understanding of the mechanics of composite materials
Contents
1. Introduction; 2. Contact laws; 3. Impact dynamics; 4. Low velocity impact damage; 5. Damage prediction; 6. Residual properties; 7. Ballistic impact; 8. Repairs; 9. Impact on sandwich structures; References.
Reviews
‘This is one of the first books totally devoted to impact on composite structures. Composites have become of increasing importance in structures since the 1940s, and today many structural elements are manufactured from them, particularly in the aerospace industries … this is an excellent book for any advanced student or researcher.’ Bradley Dodd, The Times Higher Education Supplement
‘This book offers a good overview of the many aspects of this important topic by a single author and is supported by extensive references. The book essentially achieves the aim of providing a comprehensive review of current knowledge in this field … the book is a useful addition to the literature and should provide a good source of reference for both research workers and practising engineers. The book gives value for money for the specialist.’ Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
‘This book succeeds as a 'state-of-the-art' text … The book is very nicely presented and reads well. I recommend it to civil, structural, aerospace, naval, architectural and automobile engineers …’. Structural Engineer

Libai, A.; Simmonds, J. G., «The Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Shells» , Cambridge University Press | 553 pages | ISBN-13 9780521472364 | ISBN-10 0521472369 | DJVU | 1998| 12 Mb
Elastic shells are pervasive in everyday life. Examples of these thin-walled structures range from automobile hoods to basketballs, veins and arteries, and soft drink cans. This book explains shell theory, with numerous examples and applications. This second edition not only brings all the material of the first edition entirely up to date; it also adds two entirely new chapters on general shell theory and general membrane theory. Aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineers, as well as applied mathematicians, will find this book a clearly written and thorough information source on shell theory.

How to unlock this support option? I cann't find any option for fem analysis in AFES yet the program says that it has FEM capability. Please guide me through if anyone is using GS AFES.
Thanks and Regards,
The ability of a structural assembly to carry loads and forces determines how stable it will be over time. Viewing structural assemblages as comprising columns, beams, arches, rings, and plates, this book will introduce the student to both a classical and advanced understanding of the mechanical behavior of such structural systems under load and how modeling the resulting strains can predict the overall future performance-the stability-of that structure. While covering traditional beam theory, the book is more focused on elastica theory in keeping with modern approaches. This text will be an expanded and updated version a similar, previously published book, but with pedagogical improvements and updated analytical methods.
This engineering textbook will provide a focused treatment on the study of how structures behave and perform when under stress loading, including plastic deformation and buckling. All advanced engineering students studying engineering mechanics, structural analysis and design, fatigue and failure, and other related subjects need to have this knowledge, and this book will provide it in a thorough and coherent fashion. Written by two of the world's leading engineering professors in this subject area, the pedagogy has been classroom-tested over many years and should find a receptive readership among both students and instructors.
* An understandable introduction to the theory of structural stability, useful for a wide variety of engineering disciplines, including mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering
* Covers both static and dynamic loads, for both conservative and nonconservative systems
* Emphasizes elastic behavior under loads, including vertical buckling, torsional buckling and nonlinear affects of structural system buckling and stability
* Case examples to illustrate real-world applications of Stability Theory
