PREFACE
This book contains the edited version of the lectures presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Mechanics of Composite Materials and Structures, held in Tr6ia, Portugal, 12-24th of July 1998 and organized by IDMEC - Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Technical University of Lisbon. The Institute was attended by 102 participants from 21 countries, including leading scientists and engineering staff from universities, research institutions and industry and Ph.D. students. Some participants presented invited and contributed papers during the Institute and almost all participated actively in discussions on scientific and technological aspects during the Institute.
The Advanced Study Institute provided the first opportunity for internationally recognized researchers and engineers to present the foundations, current state of art, recent development and directions of research of all essential techniques related to mechanics of composite materials and structures. The Institute provided a forum for interaction among eminent scientists and engineers from different schools of thought and young researchers, leading to future increase in the international collaboration in research in composites materials and structures.
The Institute addressed the foundations and current state of art of the mechanics of composite materials and structures. Special emphasis was placed on classic and recent developed theories of composite laminated beams, plates and shells, micromechanics, impact and damage analysis, mechanics of textile structural composites, high strain rate testing and non-destructive testing of composite materials and structures. Topics of growing importance were addressed, such as: numerical methods and optimization, identffication and damage monitoring, and homogenization techniques for composite materials and structures. The state of the art for modeling of smart composite materials, optimal design with advanced materials, software codes and industrial applications was also presented.
The edited version of the majority of papers presented at the Advanced Study Institute will be published this year in a Special Issue of the Journal of Computers and Structures and in a current issue of the Journal of Mechanics of Composite Materials and Structures.
Without the sponsorship and financial support of the Scientific and Environmental Affairs Division of NATO, the Advanced Study Institute and this book would not have been possible. The financial support of all other sponsors contributed decisively to the success of the Institute.
The Editors deeply appreciated all the advice and help in organizing the Institute given by Prof. Luis Veiga da Cunha of the Scientific and Environmental Affairs Division of NATO. The Editors are also indebted to all members of the organizing committee (prof. T.W. Chou, Prof. J.N. Reddy, Dr. J.H. Starnes and Prof. J.G. Williams) for all the outstanding work that led to a very successful Institute. We are also grateful to all authors for their effort in writing the lectures and papers in time, allowing this book to be published as planned.
Special thanks to IDMEC staff, Mrs. Andrea Marques and Mr. Amandio Rebelo, for their effort in administrative planning and support of the Institute.
We are grateful to our families, for all the support given during the organization of the Institute and of this book.
