This paper provides an overview of damage phenomena and mechanisms in hybrid
aerospace structural materials subject to damage tolerance certification requirements …

This chapter explains the fatigue damage growth phenomena in FMLs, and provides
theories to describe the growth of damage based on the individual fracture phenomena. The …

Fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) have been studied intensively for the past three decades
because of their enhanced fatigue properties compared to monolithic metals. Most of these …

This paper aims to demonstrate the correlation between simulation and experimental results
obtained for artificially inserted crack propagation in the Full-Scale fatigue test of a semi …

This paper presents a methodology to create a fitness approximation for Alderliesten's
fatigue crack propagation prediction model in context of a design optimisation approach for …

This thesis presents a model that is able to predict fatigue crack growth and damage
directionality in non-conventional Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) in CentreCracked Tension …
