West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA Series: Composite Materials

"In my opinion, the book is very well written; it is easy to follow and includes topics that students, engineers, and researchers from different fields can find very interesting and useful. The examples are very well detailed and provide valuable guidance on how to implement and understand theoretical solutions when translated into finite element models of composite materials and structures. Overall, this is a great book if the reader is looking for a comprehensive treatment of composite materials covering detailed theoretical background followed by implementation of the concepts into practical problems using a powerful modeling tool such as Abaqus."

—Eduardo M. Sosa, West Virginia University

Developed from the author’s graduate-level course on advanced mechanics of composite materials, Finite Element Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus™ shows how powerful finite element tools address practical problems in the structural analysis of composites. Unlike other texts, this one takes the theory to a hands-on level by actually solving problems. It explains the concepts involved in the detailed analysis of composites, the mechanics needed to translate those concepts into a mathematical representation of the physical reality, and the solution of the resulting boundary value problems using the commercial finite element analysis software Abaqus.

The first seven chapters provide material ideal for a onesemester course. Along with offering an introduction to finite element analysis for readers without prior knowledge of the finite element method (FEM), these chapters cover the elasticity and strength of laminates, buckling analysis, free edge stresses, computational micromechanics, and viscoelastic models and composites.

Emphasizing hereditary phenomena, the book goes on to discuss continuum and discrete damage mechanics as well as delaminations.

More than 50 fully developed examples are interspersed with the theory, more than 75 exercises are included at the end of each chapter, and more than 50 separate pieces of Abaqus pseudocode illustrate the solution of example problems. The author’s website offers the relevant Abaqus and MATLAB® model files available for download, enabling readers to easily reproduce the

Tribology New!

Friction-Induced Vibrations and SelfOrganization Mechanics and Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Sliding Contact Michael Nosonovsky and Vahid Mortazavi University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, USA

Under certain conditions, friction can lead to the formation of new structures at the interface, including in situ tribofilms and various patterns, which can reduce friction and wear. This book presents a fresh perspective on friction and tribology by combining mechanical and thermodynamic approaches. The authors show how friction-induced instabilities and vibrations can lead to self-organized structures. They also explore how understanding the structure–property relationships that lead to self-organization can help engineers design "smart" biomimetic materials that are self-lubricating and self-healing.

What Every Engineer Should Know About Cyber Security and Digital Forensics Joanna F. DeFranco Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA Series: What Every Engineer Should Know

It is a well-known fact that the weakest link in any secure system is not the system—it is the user. This book introduces the non-security professional to the security risks involved when using technology and discusses how to mitigate the risk of security incidents. It covers the information security topics every engineer should understand if they use a computer or any mobile device connected to the Internet. Topics include network and personal data security, cloud computing, mobile computing, incident response, evidence handling, Internet usage, and more.

This book offers the non-security professional an introduction to the security risks involved when using technology and discusses how to mitigate the risk of security incidents.

The book introduces the information security topics every engineer should understand if they use a computer or any mobile device that is connected to the Internet. Most engineers work at employers that want their data secure, but not every employer invests in training their engineers in understanding the risk. It is a well-known fact that the weakest link in any secure system is not the system—it is the user. Just ask any hacker.

Topics include network security, personal data security, cloud computing, mobile computing, preparing for an incident, incident response, evidence handling, Internet usage, and security certifications. The book also discusses cyber-physical systems such as the smart electric grid, smart transportation, and advanced manufacturing to demonstrate the impact of security on different engineering disciplines.

In addition, the book covers the application of the concepts, presented via short case studies of realworld incidents throughout, chronologically delineating related events.
