Summary:

The application of composite materials in aerospace structures has enhanced the comprehensive performance and fuel efficiency of aircrafts. While achieving structural-functional integration, the reliability of these advanced materials critically depends on multi-scale mechanical evaluation from constituent behaviour to structural performance, particularly the establishment of correlation of multi-scale mechanical response and the characterization of the damage evolution. In addition, aerospace composite structures during service face complex loading conditions, such as extreme thermal cycling, hydrodynamic impacts, and high-rate dynamic loading, exhibiting a strong multi-physics coupling phenomena. Consequently, it has become a critical research topic to develop multi-scale and multi-physics modelling methodologies of aerospace composite materials and structures for the design and assessment of aerospace composite systems.
