Multiscale Computational Damage Modelling of Laminate Composites

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 474))

Abstract

The main questions discussed here are how to bridge the micro- and mesomechanics of laminates and how this affects the understanding and prediction of localization and final fracture of engineering composite structures.
