The University of Warwick is a world-leading university, with a reputation for both research excellence and a business sensibility that infuses our innovative teaching. Born out of boldness, imagination and collaboration, Warwick is one of the UK’s top 10 universities, 64th in the world (QS World University Rankings 2023), and in the world’s top 100 universities for graduate employability (The QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2022). The University of Warwick offers a range of taught Masters courses which lead to the degrees of MA, MSc, MBA, LLM, or MClinSci, as well as Research Masters programmes. Many of Warwick’s Masters programmes are interdisciplinary and involve several different departments or faculties. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework assessed 92% of our research to be 'world leading' or 'internationally excellent', meaning you’ll learn alongside academics at the cusp of new thinking. Warwick’s Global Research Priorities programme allows researchers to work on finding solutions to key challenges including energy, global governance, food and international development. In 2016/17 we allocated over £36 million of scholarship funding to postgraduate students, helping outstanding individuals to deepen their knowledge, and reach the next level of their career. All of this means you’ll be welcomed to a safe, supportive environment where you can feel reassured that you can put yourself first.

University of Warwick

Warwick is a campus university with a truly cosmopolitan student community. We earn a consistent place at the uppermost reaches of the UK Higher Education league tables, and are making a positive move up the international tables too. The latest Research Excellence Framework (REF) ranked us 7th in the UK for research, having 19 departments in the top ten in the UK in their unit of assessment based on outputs. The REF also ranked 87% of our research as 'world-leading' or 'internationally excellent'. Our reputation for research attracts teachers who are among the very best in their fields. They're the teachers who are innovating, who are setting the agenda for others to follow. We've been named third fastest rising young university in the World by the Times Higher Education Young Universities Summit, and the fastest rising university in the UK. Whether you're a student, lecturer or researcher, our distinct approach will help you follow your ambitions.

About this book

This book is a useful source of knowledge for engineers and scientists in the field of mechanics of deformation and destruction of composite materials.

In Chapter 1 three-dimensional equations of elasticity theory composed for the case of finite displacements and deformations of solids have been analyzed. It is found that the generally accepted simplifications known in the literature and carried out for the case of small deformations result in equations that are considered to be absolutely correct and consistent in all scientific and educational literature on mechanics of deformable solid bodies. However, this conclusion is not sufficiently well-founded as confirmed by formulation and solution of problems on the basis of generally accepted equations for determining both the stress-strain state (SSS) and the critical loads and buckling modes. In Chapter 2 the theoretical and experimental methods for determining the mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) based on tensile and compression tests of flat specimens with [0] s , [±90] s, and [±45] 2s lay-ups are analyzed. For FRPs with [±45] 2s lay-ups, relations are derived for determining the components of lamina strains and stresses in the orthotropy axes of FRP monolayer in terms of axial strains and Poisson ratios of specimens measured in experiments. In Chapter 3 the structure of a unidirectional fibre composite of two types ELUR-P carbon fibre based on KhT-118 cold-curing binder and HSE 180 REM prepreg based on hot-curing binder has been studied. The diameters of fibres and fibre bundles (filaments) of both types of composites have been measured. Based on the results of the analysis of the composite material structure, a refined formulation of the linearised problems of a refined statement of linearized problems on flat internal multiscale buckling modes of a rigid lamina with either fibers or a fiber bundle is presented taking into account their interaction with an epoxy matrix. In Chapter 4 for shells of a layered structure based on the Timoshenko’s model, taking into account the transverse compression used for each layer, two versions of two-dimensional equations are constructed that describe geometrically nonlinear deformation with arbitrary displacements and small deformations. The formulation of a linear problem on the initial (subcritical) stress-strain state of a test specimen from a unidirectional fibrous composite with the [90 0 ] s structure during tension-compression tests with shear is given. A numerical method for solving the formulated problem is developed, which is based on the reduction of the original problem to a system of integro-algebraic equations and the search for their numerical solution by the finite sum method. In Chapter 5 conclusions were done and directions for further research have been identified.
