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.

This book provides an in-depth treatment of the study of the stability of engineering structures. Contributions from internationally recognized leaders in the field ensure a wide coverage of engineering disciplines in which structural stability is of importance, in particular the analytical and numerical modelling of structural stability applied to aeronautical, civil, marine and offshore structures. 

This book presents a theoretical approach that allows the analysis of structures with magnetorheological and electrorheological layers, and shows, with the help of examples, how the mechanical behaviour of thin-walled laminated structures can be influenced.

It consists of six chapters:

Chapter 1 presents a brief overview of derivation approaches for theories of thin-walled structures, modelling of composites and modelling of laminated and sandwich structures.

Paramagnetic (or spin) sensors have found wide use in structural and dynamic research of condensed media using the spectroscopy of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Stable nitroxide radicals are the most exploited paramagnetic sensors which formed the basis of spin probes and labels technique well known to the experts in fields of chemical and biological materials science.

This book focuses on the

Damage and Repair of Aerospace Composite Materials reports the latest developments on the detection and repair of composite structures in the aerospace industry, with an outline of general damage inspection and repair processes. 

Advanced composite technology is constantly changing and embracing new developments daily, yet most of the basics needed to successfully design, fabricate, and repair composite structures remain the same. Essentials of Advanced Composite Fabrication and Repair works as the perfect introductory textbook for beginners yet is also functional for the composite professional.
