This is the online version of the proceedings of the 5th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on The Mechanical Response of Composites, held at the University of Bristol UK, 7 – 9 September 2015. Previous editions have been held in Porto, London, Hannover and Ponta Delgada in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013 respectively.
The conference series covers the scientific investigation of complex mechanical behaviour of composite materials and structures. It focuses mainly on theoretical and numerical modelling and prediction of the performance of composite components, also covering experimental validation and challenging industrial applications or recent developments.
In the linked pages you will find details of the conference organisation committees, scientific programme and authors. All abstracts are hyper-linked from both the programme session in which they were presented and the author index. Submission of a full paper was optional and those papers submitted are also hyper-linked. Presentations, where the authors have given their consent, are available to view through both the individual day programme pages or via the author index page.
A special thank you goes to the organizing and scientific committees for their work in making this event possible as well as to the authors and participants for their contributions. We hope you find these proceedings a useful record of the scientific work presented.
