However, not forsaking these advantages, composite materials are prone to a wide range of defects and damage that can significantly reduce the residual strength and stiffness of a structure or result in unfavorable load paths. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmphasizing defect identification and restitution, \u003cb\u003e Defects and Damage in Composite Materials and Structures \u003c\/b\u003eexplains how defects and damage in composite materials and structures impact composite component performance.
