Abstract
Two approaches to modelling the effects of embedded defects and impact damage in composite aerostructures are presented. These differ in the manner n which the damage is represented; one as an equivalent delamination and the other as a soft inclusion with non-linear homogenized material properties. These techniques are applied to study the effects of defects and impact damage on the performance of composite panels.
