- Outcome of the Royal Society-funded International Exchanges project 'Modelling multiple transverse cracking in composite laminates'. Combines the Finite Fracture Mechanics approach with the Equivalent Constraint Model to propose a new failure criterion that can predict initiation and development of multiple matrix cracks in fibre-reinforced polymer-matrix composite laminates. Collaboration between the UoA’s School of Engineering, Centre for Micro- and Nanomechanics, and the University of Seville (Spain), Strength of Materials Research Group. Underpins follow-up studies of damage phenomena in composite laminates (e.g., Carrer Universitat de Girona, AERNNOVA Engineering/Spain, University of Sheffield).
