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

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

One of the most important and exciting areas of composites research is the development of modelling techniques to predict the response of composite materials to

Finite element modelling of composite materials and structures provides an introduction to a technique which is increasingly being used as an analytical tool fo
