Abstract

Since the mid 50’s, interest in research and engineering has been shifting from traditional monolithic materials to fibre-reinforced polymer-based materials due to their unique advantages of high strength-to-weight ratio, non-corrosive properties and high fracture toughness for aerospace and military applications.
