This Session will address related issues on reliability and performance of composite materials and structures. Recent advances in composites R&D covering the areas of micromechanics, damage and fracture mechanics, numerical modeling and experimentation will be discussed.
* Topics of the Session:
- Assessment of damage
- Mechanisms of failure
- Residual stresses
- Design and optimization
- Fatigue and fatigue crack propagation
- Behavior under impact
- Reliability prediction
- Failure analysis
(Other related topics may also be considered)
