Damage Modeling of Composite Structures: Strength, Fracture, and Finite Element Analysis provides readers with a fundamental overview of the mechanics of compos

Bringing together materials mechanics and modelling, this book provides a complete guide to damage mechanics of composite materials for engineers.

This book presents novel methods for the simulation of damage evolution in aerospace composites that will assist in predicting damage onset and growth and thus

The advantages of composite materials include a high specific strength and stiffness, formability, and a comparative resistance to fatigue cracking and corrosio

This monograph presents recent research findings on fracture properties and behavior of the composites, and their damage and cracking process under both quasi-s
