In the last twenty years, composite materials were used in several engineering applications for possessing a good combination of properties. Therefore, researchers are interested in investigating these materials and their classifications, manufacturing, properties and failure. This book is concentrated on failure behavior of composite materials and the goals of this work are: 1. Building a finite element model describing the breakage effect in composite materials and comparing this model with the shear lag model in terms of accuracy of results, computation time and the cases that can be...
