Stress, Vibration, and Wave Analysis in Aerospace Composites presents a unified approach to studying and understanding stress, vibrations, and waves in composite materials used in aerospace applications. Combining topics that are typically found across an array of various sources, the book starts by looking at the properties of various composite materials, progresses to coverage of analysis of stress, vibration, and waves, then concludes with discussion of various structural health monitoring (SHM) and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques and applications based on the analysis developed earlier in the book. The level of complexity increases as the book progresses from the calculation of stress to prediction of vibration frequencies, modeshapes, and dynamic response. Other advanced topics such as wave propagation in anisotropic bulk composites are discussed, as is the analysis of guided wave propagation aerospace composites which is covered in two separate chapters, one for dispersion curves and polar plots and the other for guided wave excitation in aerospace composites. Every chapter of the book contains a variety of worked-out examples to illustrate and tie together underlying theory and specific applications. The MATLAB code used to generate these examples is available on the book's companion website, as are solution documents and additional MATLAB code for the problems and exercises that are featured in each chapter.
