Design and analysis of composite structures: With applications to aerospace structures

This book, Design and Analysis of Composite Structures: With Application to Aerospace Structures, provides a methodology of various analysis approaches that can be used for the preliminary design of aerospace structures without having to resort to finite elements.
Representative types of composite structure are described, along with techniques to define the geometry and lay-up stacking sequence required to withstand the applied loads. The value of such a set of tools is to enable rapid initial rade-off preliminary design studies to be madу.
