Abstract:

Providing a summary of the main methods used to design and

analyze composite structures in practice.

The understanding of orthotropic composite materials,

and the constitutive relations for a single ply and laminated structure (plate/beam) based on the assumptions relating to thin laminates.

The behavior of laminates with applied in/out-plane and various loads.

Overview of the composite failure mechanisms, production methods and technologies and NDT methods. A design problem
