AB - Fractography is a useful research tool which enables engineers to bridge the gap between numerical modelling and experimental testing, support material design development, and aid in the failure investigation of in-service (and laboratory-based) failures. This paper presents the current issues and direction of research for the fractography of polymer composites and highlights the future challenges. These include: fretting failures between delaminated neighbouring plies, gleaning environmental effects (i.e. the influence of moisture and/or temperature on fracture morphology), and the sequencing of physically isolated failures. The latter is addressed by the proposed new methodology in which fractography and numerical modelling are synergistically coupled. This methodology is becoming increasingly important across a range of industries as the uptake of composites becomes wider.
