The papers presented in this volume provide an overview of current research aimed at the development of tougher high-performance continuous graphite fiber composites for aerospace applications. Topics discussed include toughened composites selection criteria, micromechanisms of fracture in toughened graphite/epoxy laminates, the characterization of edge delamination growth in laminates under fatigue loading, and rate effects on delamination fracture toughness of a toughened graphite/epoxy. Papers are also presented on the development of residual thermal stresses in amorphous and semicrystalline thermoplastic matrix composites, structural property improvements through hybridized composites, and screening of advanced matrix resin systems in high performance aircraft.
