Investigating failure in composite stiffener run-outs

The aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of failure initiation and propagation, in stractural composites featuring geometrical discontinuities. In particular, this study focuses on stiffener run-outs as these are particularly significant in the aerospace industry. The improved understa...
