Summary

Composites are widely used in the production of parts for a large number of final products due to their unique characteristic properties such as high strength, stiffness, and low weight.

Damage analysis for composite materials can be considered a multidisciplinary field that combines materials science, mechanics, numerical analysis, and experimental techniques to ensure the safe and efficient utilization of composite structures in various applications.

With this reprint on Damage Analysis for Composite Materials, we have published a collection of research papers showing some of the most recent advanced contributions on the study of the outcomes of damage in composite parts, including modelling techniques, failure modes, damage initiation and propagation, durability and fatigue analysis, damage tolerance and repair, non-destructive evaluation, post-failure analysis, and environmental concerns, representing the diverse potential approaches to the study of composite materials.
