The development of a strain-based defect assessment technique for composite aerospace structures

This thesis details the work conducted over three years on the development of strain-based defect assessment techniques for carbon-fibre reinforced composites. This material, whilst exhibiting a high specific strength, is sensitive to defects and thus there is an industrial need for assessment techn...
