About this title

Synopsis

This book is for engineers and students of aerospace, materials and mechanical engineering. It covers the transition from aluminum to composite materials for aerospace structures and includes advanced analyses used in industries. New in the 2nd Edition is material on morphing structures, large deflection plates, nondestructive methods, vibration correlation technique for shear loaded plates, vibrations to measure physical properties, and more.

About the Author

Prof. Haim Abramovich obtained his B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion, in 1975, 1979 and 1983, respectively.

He has been with the Technion since 1987 until 2020, and currently he is a retired professor from the Aerospace Department, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, I.I.T., Haifa, ISrael

He spent three years with the Israeli industry and between 1996-1998 he was Guest Professor at ETH Zurich Institut fur Leichtbau und Seilbahntechnik, Switzerland, while from March-September 2018, he was at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, TU Delft, the Netherlands.

His main fields of interest are: static and dynamic stability of thin walled structures, piezoelectric materials, laminated composite structures, dynamic buckling of thin walled structures, smart structures technologies using piezoelectric and shape memory alloys (SMA) materials, structural mechanics and energy harvesting using piezoelectric and pyroelectric materials .

He has published more than 115 papers in well-known international journals on above quoted subjects. He is the author of 10 patents on piezoelectric harvesting devices. He is also the author of five new books.
