composite material

Please suggest good books for nonlinear FEM and mechanics of composite materials

Submitted by AP on

Hello,

For my project I need to learn nonlinear finite element method (FEM) and composite materials. I am familier with linear FEM. Please suggest me good book for nonlinear FEM which will have good explanation of the subject. Also, please suggest book on composite materials especially having lot of solved examples. I know there are lots of experts in this subject on imechanica, so please give me some suggestions. Thanks. 

Thanks.

There is an opening for students who want to join a PhDcourse or combined master + PhD course (Going to directly Ph.D. course without master thesis afterB.S.) in Department of Aerospace Engineering, GyeongsangNational University, South Korea.

The successful candidate will do research under the adviseof Prof. Jin-Hwe Kweon in Structure and Composite Lab. Prof. Kweon researchareas include testing and finite element analysis of:

1. Composite Cylinder under hydrostatic pressure,

2. Mechanical and bonding joints between composite materials,with or without z-pinning
