Buckling, postbuckling and progressive failure analysis of hybrid composite shear webs using a continuum damage mechanics model

This dissertation presents an innovative analysis methodology to enhance the design of composite structures by extending their work range into the postbuckling regime. This objective is accomplished by using the numerical simulation capabilities of nonlinear finite element analysis combined with con...
