Durability Analysis of Composite Systems 2001 Proceedings of the 5th International Conference , DURACOSYS 2001, tokyo, 6-9 November 2001

    This proceedings covers the general problem related to the damage initiation and development, the failure criteria and the specific aspects related to fatigue, creep behaviour, moisture diffusion and the problem of the joining systems.
