This book has one single purpose: to present the development of the
partial hybrid finite element method for the stress analysis of
laminated composite structures. The reason for this presentation is
because the authors believe that partial hybrid finite element
method is more efficient that the displacement based finite element
method for the stress analysis oflaminated composites. In fact, the
examples in chapter 5 of this book show that the partial hybrid
finite element method is about 5 times more efficient than the
displacement based finite element method. Since there is a great
need for accurate and efficient calculation of interlaminar
stresses for the design using composites, the partial hybrid finite
method does provide one possible solution. Hybrid finite method has
been in existence since 1964 and a significant amount of work has
been done on the topic. However, the authors are not aware of any
systematic piece of literature that gives a detailed presentation
of the method. Chapters of the displacement finite element method
and the evolution 1 and 2 present a sununary of the hybrid finite
element method. Hopefully, these two chapters can provide the
readers with an appreciation for the difference between the
displacement finite element method and the hybrid finite element.
It also should prepare the readers for the introduction of partial
hybrid finite element method presented in chapter 3.
