Cracks, microcracks and fracture in polymer structures: Formation, detection, autonomic repair (2016, background): “Microcracking in the polymer composites immediately causes deterioration of the thermomechanical properties and it also serves as initiator to other forms of damage; delamination and fibre-matrix interfacial de-bonding cause fibre fracture, providing pathways for entry of moisture, oxygen, and other”
On the use of planar shear-lag methods for stress-transfer analysis of multilayered composites (2001, unknown): “Two recent review articles in Nairn, 2000 and Nairn and Hu, 1994 cover the topic of matrix microcracking and give many references.”
A variational model for stress analysis in cracked laminates with arbitrary symmetric lay-up under general in-plane loading (2014, background): “The reader is referred to the following publications for a detailed review of the developments in the area of matrix cracking analysis (Nairn, 2000a; Berthelot, 2003).”
