Special Issue on
Dynamic Response and Failure of Composites: Recent Advances
in
Multiscale and Multidisciplinary Modeling, Experiments and Design (MMED)
Composite materials and structures have distinct multiscale, hierarchical structures. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the characteristics in different length scales and bridging them in order to predict their dynamic responses and failure. In addition, composite materials and structures have been used in a variety of engineering applications because of their beneficial material properties as well as the flexibility to design the materials tuned toward the desired objectives. This requires multiphysics and multidisciplinary analysis of composite materials and structures. This special issue is dedicated to the fourth edition of the “International Symposium on Dynamic Response and Failure of Composite Materials (Draf2020),” and solicits papers addressing topics covered in the symposium. Particular attention will be paid to failure modes, failure criteria, constitutive equations and damage investigations from experimental, theoretical and numerical points of view.
