Analysis of Failure in Fiber Polymer Laminates

Más información sobre el libro

The book focuses on the analysis of failure in fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), specifically highlighting Alfred Puck's failure model, which excels in predicting fracture limits and describing failure phenomena in FRP. This model allows composite engineers to track the gradual failure process in laminates, offering insights for design improvements. Its unique capabilities reduce the need for extensive component testing and iterations, facilitating the development of essential software for crash simulations in FRP structures across various engineering fields.
