Mechanics of Aeronautical Composite MaterialsAuthor(s): Christophe Bouvet\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc, United Kingdom\nImprint: ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9781786301147, 978-1786301147\nSynopsis\nThis book presents the principles of composite laminate sizing widely used for composite structures. The focus is on aeronautics in particular, including the concepts of limit loads and ultimate loads.\n\n After a brief overview of the main composite materials used in aeronautics, the basic theory of laminated plates and the associated rupture criteria are given. The author presents two fundamental cases of the sizing of aeronautical composite structures: the calculation of the holed structures and their subsequent multi-bolt joints, and the calculation of the buckling. \n\n The concept of damage tolerance is also explored, with a focus on its application for tolerance to impact damage. These notions are fundamental for understan.
