Advances in Predictive Models and Methodologies for Numerically Efficient Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of Composites (eBook)

Marco Petrolo is assistant professor and member of MUL2 (Multilayered Structures Multifield Analysis) research group at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Politecnico di Torino, Italy. His research activity deals with the structural analysis of composite structures; refined beam, plate and shell models; component-wise approaches, damage analysis, and axiomatic/asymptotic analyses.
