Blades play a vital role in wind turbine system performances. However, they are susceptible
to damage arising from complex and irregular loading or even cause catastrophic collapse …

The present review aims at gathering the available literature on dam** in composite
materials. A chronological review of test methods for dam** estimation is presented in …

Extensively updated and maintaining the high standard of the popular original, Principles of
Composite Material Mechanics, Second Edition reflects many of the recent developments in …

As the applications of advanced composite structural materials continue to increase, so does
