Thermoelastic stress analysis techniques for mixed mode fracture and stochastic fatigue of composite materials

This study develops new quantitative thermoelastic stress analysis (TSA) techniques for fracture and fatigue damage analysis of composite materials. The first part deals with the thermo-mechanical derivation of two quantitative TSA techniques applied to orthotropic composites with and without a tra...
