Abstract
AbstractThis article is a summary of six lectures given by the author at the webinar, “Advanced Theories for Deformation, Damage and Failure in Materials” organized by the International Centre for Mechanical Sciences, Udine, Italy, May 3–7, 2021. The topics of the lectures dealt with mechanisms of damage and failure, continuum and synergistic damage mechanics, failure theories for anisotropic homogenized solids, and physical modeling of failure in composites containing manufacturing defects. Finally, future research directions were discussed. An attempt is made here to bring together those topics in a coherent manner to provide a comprehensive exposition of the field of damage and failure in composite materials.
