L'hélicoptère a toujours été, dans l'imagination des hommes, la machine volante idéale, puisqu'elle permet de s'envoler et de se poser à la verticale à peu près partout. Cependant, c'est une machine d'une incroyable complexité, ce qui explique qu'elle fut si longue à mettre au point.

This book presents the most recent advances on the mechanics of soft and composite shells and their nonlinear vibrations and stability, including advanced problems of modeling human vessels (aorta) with fluid-structure interaction.

In this textbook for students of laminated composite materials, composite structures, and anisotropic elasticity, Chyanbin Hwu draws on more than three decades of research and applications experience to provide a leading resource on many unique topics related to laminated composite structures.

An increase in the use of composite materials in areas of engineering has led to a greater demand for engineers versed in the design of structures made from such materials. This book offers students and engineers tools for designing practical composite structures.
