An experimental characterisation of spatial variability in GFRP composite panels

Probabilistic tools are being used to understand the inherent uncertainty of FRP composites. Over the years different approaches have developed, focusing on behaviour and associated uncertainties at a micro-/meso-/macro-scale, each with specific advantages/limitations depending on the type, and scope, of the analysis being undertaken. Consideration of spatial variability, and associated random field modelling, of geometric and...
