An engineering approach to the simulation of gross damage development in composite laminates

It is challenging to predict the development of gross damage in polymer matrix composite (PMC) laminates accurately. Existing tools are not suitable for analyses of this sort; in general they predict initial failure but do not consider the post-failure behaviour, or they treat it in a relatively...
