Summer School Program
The Damage School 2024 Final Program can be downloaded here.
The following subjects will be presented and discussed during the school lectures:
- Introduction to the damage mechanics of composites and strategies for design against fatigue
- Simplified (homogenized) approach to the life prediction of composite parts
- Advanced modelling of damage evolution (transverse cracking, delamination, fibre failure, stiffness drop associated to damage evolution)
- Effects of manufacturing on damage evolution, experimental evidence and modelling
- Fatigue of bonded connections, experimental evidence and modelling strategies
- Methods for Structural Health Monitoring via electrical resistance measurements
- Application exercises
- Industrial case histories
