Modern societies around the world are increasingly dependent on the smooth functionality of progressively more complex systems, such as infrastructure systems, digital systems like the internet, and sophisticated machinery. ...

Structural optimization relies on precisely known material data and accurate yet computationally efficient damage prediction models. In this regard, non-proportional fatigue represents a major source of uncertainty due to ...

Wind turbine rotor blades are huge and complex composite structures that are exposed to exceptionally high loads, both extreme and fatigue loads. These can result in damages causing severe downtimes or repair costs. It is ...
