Stochastic Damage Evolution under Static and Fatigue Loading in Composites with Manufacturing Defects

In this dissertation, experimental investigations and theoretical studies on the stochastic matrix cracking evolution under static and fatigue loading in composite laminates with defects are presented. The presented work demonstrates a methodology that accounts for the statistically distributed defe...
