Assessment of Residual Elastic Properties of a Damaged Composite Plate with Combined Damage Index and Finite Element Methods

In structural component applications the use of composite materials is increasing thanks to their optimal mechanical characteristics. However, the complexity of the damage evolution in composite materials significantly limits their widespread diffusion. Non-destructive tests are thus becoming ever m...
