This book presents the culmination of many years of research by the author's team on the direct lightning damage effects on CFRP (carbon fiber-reinforced polymer). It integrates extensive experimental data with simulation results to provide a comprehensive investigation into lightning-induced damage in CFRP materials.

The book analyzes the electrical response and thermo-electric effects of CFRP under lightning current components, and establishes a multi-physical field coupling damage model based on arc-thermal-electrical-force interactions. This model not only advances the scientific...
