Fiber-Reinforced Composite Materials
Characterization and Computational Predictions of Mechanical Performance
Chapter
The most commonly used composite materials in engineering are glass or carbon fibers embedded in a matrix, usually a thermoset or thermoplastic polymer.
Chapter
The study of damage has been of a great interest to different scientific communities, and several theories or approaches have been generated to predict crack initiation, propagation, and degradation of materia...

Characterization and Computational Predictions of Mechanical Performance
Chapter
The composite material properties, which are directly related to the matrix and the reinforcement, are in general significantly weaker in the thickness direction than in the lamina plane directions.
