Buckling analysis of grid-stiffened composite shells -- Three-dimensional image processing applied to the characterization of lightweight mortar reinforced with Piassaba fibers -- Computational modelling of fibre composites with thick fibres as homogeneous structures with use of couple stress theory -- Towards Fiber Bundle Models for Composite Pressure Vessels -- A Macro Model for 3D Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites.-Modeling and SPH Analysis of Composite Materials
Summary
The papers in this volume present a broad range of applications for reinforced fiber composites - from thin shell structures to tires. Linear and nonlinear structural behavior (from linear buckling to nonlinear yelding and fracture) are discussed as well as different materials are presented. Latest developments in computational methods for constructíons are presented which will help to save money and time. This is an edited collection of papers presented at a symposium at the WCCM, Barcelona, 2014
