This special issue seeks to present cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies in numerical modeling of composite structures and bonded repairs. Composite materials have revolutionized industries like aerospace, automotive, and energy due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio and adaptability. However, challenges remain in accurately modeling their behavior under complex loading conditions, particularly in repair scenarios. The issue will cover advanced computational techniques, such as finite element analysis, machine learning approaches, and multiscale modeling, to simulate composite behavior and optimize bonded repair processes. Topics include fracture mechanics, progressive damage analysis, fatigue performance, and novel design solutions. Submissions addressing emergent themes, such as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive modeling, hybrid material systems, and environmentally friendly repair solutions, are especially welcome. By encouraging interdisciplinary and innovative subjects, the special issue aims to bridge gaps between research and industrial application.
