Comprehensively covers new and existing methods for the design and analysis of composites structures with damage present
* Provides efficient and accurate approaches for analysing structures with holes and impact damage
* Introduces a new methodology for fatigue analysis of composites
* Provides design guidelines, and step by step descriptions of how to apply the methods, along with evaluation of their accuracy and applicability
* Includes problems and exercises
* Accompanied by a website hosting lecture slides and solutions

"This will help the readers - engineers who will be designing the next generation of airframe structures - to develop not only better understanding of underlying damage mechanisms, but also critical thinking and
open-mindedness needed for evaluation of any new simplified approaches that may emerge in the future" Professor Maria Kashtalyan, University of Aberdeen on behalf of the Aeronautical Journal, Oct 2017
