Abstract
The damage behaviour of composites is of interest for the purpose of development and application of materials. The strength and lifetime of composite materials are determined by the stress stages of the initiation of micro-failure processes and by the transition of the damage from a subcritical stage to a critical stage. Inter-fibre fracture, delamination and fibre failure are processes of special importance. The damage behaviour of composite materials depends considerably on the crack resistance of the matrix, on the debonding energy of the fibre—matrix interface and, finally, on the delamination resistance of the layers of the composite.
