The Important Delamination Behaviour of Composites is Comprehensively Examined

The aerospace industry is one example of the increased use of composites,
whilst the advantages of such are clear it is of critical importance to be aware
of any potential dangers. Delamination behaviour of composites from Woodhead
Publishing comprehensively examines this important area of concern, focusing
on the main mode of failure: delamination. This vital information will heighten
awareness of failure and open discussion on technologies that can further enhance
performance.
