The book focuses on a failure model developed by Alfred Puck, which excels in predicting fracture limits and accurately describing failure phenomena in Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP). This model enables composite engineers to track the gradual failure process in laminates, facilitating design improvements. It stands out by minimizing the need for extensive component testing and iterations, ultimately contributing to the development of software for crash simulations in FRP structures, which is critical for various engineering applications.
