Topics discussed in this volume are concerned with fatigue and damage growth, models and analysis, delamination, and structural aspects. Papers are presented on the fatigue life prediction of cross-ply composite laminates; damage initiation and growth in notched laminates under reversed cyclic loading; the influence of fiber, matrix, and interface on transverse cracking in carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic cross-ply laminates; edge stresses in woven laminates at low temperatures; and predicting interlaminar fatigue crack growth rates in compressively loaded laminates. Attention is also given to the mode II delamination fracture toughness of unidirectional graphite/epoxy composites, the mode I and mode II delamination of thermosetting and thermoplastic composites, free-edge delamination characteristics in S2/CE9000 glass/epoxy laminates under static and fatigue loads, delamination failure modes in filament-wound composite tubes, and the lateral impact of composite cylinders.
