A Cumulative Damage Model for Advanced Composite Materials,

Abstract

Report Objectives: Development of a cumulative damage model to predict the failure modes, strength, and fatigue life of composite materials. The model will utilize fracture mechanics, random variables, and finite-element codes, as needed. The results must be verified by experiments.
