Review:

Nevertheless, this book is an important contri-bution to the field and will provide a useful aid to postgraduate aerostructural engineers. (The Aeronautical Journal, 1 June 2014)

From the Back Cover:

Design and Analysis of Composite Structures: With Applications to Aerospace Structures, Second Edition provides a series of analysis and design methods for composite structures. It focuses on the development of analysis techniques that can be used in the context of preliminary design of composite structures. The methods provided can be used to perform trade studies to determine the effect of different design variables on the strength, stiffness, weight or cost of composite structures. The analysis methods are used to obtain design guidelines and to explain traditional design rules being used in the aerospace industry. The limitations and range of applicability of each method are also provided.

Key features of this second edition:

• Enhanced with the addition of composite fittings with analysis and design methods for clips and lugs, and a detailed application of a composite skin designed using three different design concepts
• The weight and cost implications of the different geometries and various design decisions associated with how to stiffen the panel to be designed and which fabrication method(s) to use, are discussed in detail
• An App called CoDeAn (Composites Design and Analysis) has been created for this book. Most of the analysis methods and equations in the book are available to the App user in an efficient and user- friendly way ranging from material creation to analysis of different failure modes of a composite structure
• Discusses design guidelines in detail and provides methods to develop robust, accurate preliminary designs
• Real life applications are explained and analyzed in detail. End of chapter exercises using these applications are also included
• Accompanied by a website hosting lecture slides and solutions for instructors

Design and Analysis of Composite Structures: With Applications to Aerospace Structures, Second Edition is a comprehensive reference for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in Aerospace Engineering and other engineering disciplines.
