Summary
Presents the foundation of the theory of composite anisotropic thin-walled beams and its applications in various problems involving the aeronautical/aerospace, helicopter, naval and mechanical structures. This book analyzes non-classical effects such as transverse shear, warping constraint, anisotropy of constituent materials, and more
