Plates and panels are primary components in many structures
including space vehicles, aircraft, automobiles, buildings, bridge
decks, ships and submarines. The ability to design, analyse,
optimise and select the proper materials for these structures is a
necessity for structural designers, analysts and researchers.
This text consists of four parts. The first deals with plates of
isotropic (metallic and polymeric) materials. The second involves
composite material plates, including anisotropy and laminate
considerations. The third section treats sandwich constructions of
various types, and the final section gives an introduction to
plates involving piezoelectric materials, in which the "smart" or
"intelligent" materials are used as actuators or sensors.
In each section, the formulations encompass plate structures
subjected to static loads, dynamic loads, buckling,
thermal/moisture environments, and minimum weight structural
optimisation.
This is a textbook for a graduate course, an undergraduate
senior course and a reference. Many homework problems are given in
various chapters.
