Workshop - New Approaches for Performance Definition of Composite Materials and Structures
National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK
March 2010
The purpose of the seminar was to capture the current state of the art in the analysis of composite material behaviour and structural performance. The focus of the seminar was on novel experimental approaches that provide deeper insight into the material behaviour, with emphasis on full-field approaches that allow a visualization of damage evolution.
