Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials Using ANSYS
About this book
Designing structures using composite materials poses unique challenges, especially due to the need for concurrent design of both material and structure. Students are faced with two options: textbooks that teach the theory of advanced mechanics of composites, but lack computational examples of advanced analysis, and books on finite element analysis

Information
Chapter 1
Mechanics of Orthotropic Materials
This chapter provides the foundation for the rest of the book. Basic concepts of mechanics, tailored for composite materials, are presented, including coordinate transformations, constitutive equations, and so on. Continuum mechanics is used to describe deformation and stress in an orthotropic material. The basic equations are reviewed in Sections 1.2 to 1.9. Tensor operations are reviewed in Section 1.10 because they are used in the rest of the chapter. Coordinate transformations are required to express quantities such as stress, strain, and stiffness in lamina coordinates, in laminate coordinates, and so on. They are reviewed in Sections 1.10 to 1.11. This chapter is heavily referenced in the rest of the book, and thus readers who are already versed in continuum mechanics may choose to come back to review this material as needed.
1.1 Lamina Coordinate System
A single lamina of fiber reinforced composite behaves as an orthotropic material. That is, the material has three mutually perpendicular planes of symmetry. The intersection of these three plan...
