      abstract = {This book presents an analytical framework for calculating  the fracture toughness of generally layered beam structures  with an elastically coupled response and hygrothermal  stresses. The beam under study features several  peculiarities: it consists of multiple layers of dissimilar  materials, features bending-extension coupling, and  contains residual hygrothermal stresses. Here, a generic  analytical model is proposed to compute the energy release  rate and the mode mixity. Mechanics of composite materials,  crack closure integral, and energetic methods are among the  theoretical tools employed for developing the model. A  wealth of new closed-form expressions is presented,  together with their validation through finite element  analyses, which enables investigating various material  systems and testing configurations. Experimentalists will  find directions for the design and interpretation of  delamination tests on laminated composites with uncommon  stacking sequences. At the same time, theoreticians can  exploit the analytical solution as a benchmark test for  more refined analytical and numerical models. Furthermore,  the book gives novel insights into the fracture behavior of  a titanium-to-CFRP adhesive joint, which is intended for  application in the hybrid laminar flow control of a future  aircraft. It reports on experiments and theoretical  analyses that help understand the behavior of this novel  joint. All in all, this book offers extensive updates on  methods for fracture analysis of materials with an  elastically coupled behavior and residual stresses. It  addresses students, researchers, and engineers alike.},
