FRP Composite Structures

The focus of this textbook is to develop simplified mathematical models representing the behavior of beams and plates under static loads, after introducing generalized Hooke's Law for materials with different properties, i.e., anisotropic, orthotropic, transversely isotropic, and isotropic properties. Subsequently, the simplified models coupled with design methods including FRP composite material degradation factors are introduced by solving a wide range of practical design problems. This book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students and industry professionals focused on the analysis and design of FRP composite structural members--
