What is World Wide Failure Exercise on Failure Prediction in Composites about?
Composite materials have seen an increasing application in numerous industries over the past few decades. Within the aerospace industry, the new generations of aircraft will be heavily reliant on composite materials, not just as a replacement for metallic materials but also as a means of delivering more advanced design features. Other fields of application such as ground transportation, general mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and chemical engineering are focussing increasingly towards composites, because of their superior properties. This increase in application means that reliability and durability are more and more important, and the designers have to take this into account. Thanks to the pioneering work of Timoschenko, Hashin, Tsai and Puck (to mention only a few), tools were developed to design safe composite structures. However, it turned out that these early design tools could be further improved. One of the major considerations in design is the possibility of failure. In metallic materials, we can expect a single crack to initiate final failure. In composite materials, however, we have numerous types of failure, such as fibre rupture, interfibre matrix cracking, d
