Characterization and Modelling of Composites Volume II

<p>Composites have been increasingly used in various structural components in the aerospace marine automotive and wind energy sectors. Composites' material characterization is a vital part of the product development and production process. Physical mechanical and chemical characterization helps developers to further their understanding of products and materials thus ensuring quality control. Achieving an in-depth understanding and consequent improvement of the general performance of these materials however still requires complex material modeling and simulation tools which are often multiscale and encompass multiphysics.</p><p>This Special Issue is aimed at soliciting promising recent developments in composite modeling simulation and characterization in both design and manufacturing areas including experimental as well as industrial-scale case studies. All submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous review and will only be considered for publication if they meet journal standards.</p>
