During their service life, composite laminates are subjected to various transient loadings which often lead to the deterioration of their structural integrity. This deterioration may be manifested in various forms; with increasing impact energy these forms range from delamination to flexural damage to penetration. This new book presents a thorough overview of the aspects related to post impact damage in composite laminates and its subsequent development under fatigue loading.
