N2  - "This book clearly demonstrates how safety methods can be made available to the engineering community without requiring huge statistical databases to establish internal and external loads distributions for use in reliability analysis. It also focuses on structural integrity, and counteracting the lack of service experience with risk management based on flexible inspection methods." "An essential title for anyone working on structural integrity and composite structures, Composite Structures, Design, Safety and Innovation is of equal interest to aerospace engineers and materials scientists working in academia, industry and government."--BOOK JACKET
