A short course on
Analysis of Composite Materials and Structures
by
Prof. J.N. Reddy
Distinguished Professor &
Oscar S. Wyatt Endowed Chair in Mechanical Engineering
Texas A&M University,
College Station, Texas.
USA
DATE :- 04-01-2011
TIME :- 09 :00 AM TO 04:00 PM
VENUE:
J.N.Tata Auditorium
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore – 560 012
BACKGROUND
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The course is intended to provide engineers with the theory, analysis and design
considerations in dealing with composite structural components in the form of plates
and shells laminated of fiber-reinforced materials. Theoretical formulations and
applications will be presented to illustrate the concepts. Persons who have taken the
course and understood the material should benefit in strengthening their background
in the following areas:
COURSE OUTLINE
• Composite Materials: An Introduction
• Anisotropic Elasticity of Composite Materials
• Structural Theories of Composite Laminates (CLPT, FSDT, TSDT)
• Analytical Solutions of rectangular laminates for bending, vibration and buckling
• Finite Element Models of Composite Laminates
• Failures in composites: Post-buckling of laminated structures
• Recent advances: a new shell element and least-squares finite element models
• Nano-composites
COURSE MATERIAL
Much of the material used in the course from the instructor’s
book, Mechanics of Laminated Composite Plates and Shells (CRC
Press, 2004; second edition); other material will come the
research publications of the instructor. A copy of the overheads
will be provided to the registrants of the course.
