Book Description
In recent years, damage problems on fiber-reinforced composite laminated structures have attracted considerable interest and attention of researchers in both academic and engineering fields. This book summarizes research results in the areas of nonlinear problems of laminated plates and shells, conducted by the author and his graduate students over the past decades. The main content comes from research papers published in leading international and national academic journals. The contents of this book are related to composite mechanics, nonlinear plate and shell mechanics, damage mechanics, elasto-plastic mechanics, visco-elastic mechanics, piezoelectric elastic mechanics and nonlinear dynamics, which embody the combination and integration among solid mechanics, material science and nonlinear science. While this book tries to present recent development and brings forth new ideas in the academic area, it also gives emphasis on the basic concepts, fundamental principles and establishment of basic approaches. Moreover, this book provides a complete set of theoretical system and analytic methods for the nonlinear research of laminated structures and piezoelectric laminated structures with damage.

About the Author
Professor Yi-Ming Fu was born in August, 1945 in southern China. He obtained a bachelor degree of mechanical engineering in Hunan University in 1968. After that, he worked as a R&D engineer in the Great Wall Control Electric Co., LTD for 11 years. In 1981, He obtained a master degree of solid mechanics from the graduate school of Tongji University in Shanghai, China. From then on, he has been teaching and researching on solid mechanics at Hunan University for about 30 years. During this period, He was the department chair, for 18 years, of engineering mechanics of Hunan University and, he also did research in other universities, such as, the University of Calgary, Hong Kong University for over 4 years. Besides, he has been part of the editorial board of many journals including Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica, Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Chinese Journal of Applied Mechanics, Journal of Vibration and Shock, etc. His research interest is mainly on the elasto-plastic theory, damage mechanics, structural nonlinear dynamics, and composite structures. He has authored eight monographs and textbooks as well as more than 250 refereed journal articles in those fields.
