Failure Analysis of Composites

Failure analysis of composites involves examining how and why a composite material, made from combining different substances like fibers and resin, breaks or fails. This process identifies the root causes of failure, such as internal cracks, delamination, or fiber breakage, by inspecting the material's structure and testing its properties. Understanding these failure mechanisms helps engineers improve composite design, manufacturing, and maintenance, ensuring better performance and safety in aerospace, automotive, and other structural applications. Ultimately, it aims to prevent future failures and extend the lifespan of composite components.
