Paramagnetic (or spin) sensors have found wide use in structural and dynamic research of condensed media using the spectroscopy of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Stable nitroxide radicals are the most exploited paramagnetic sensors which formed the basis of spin probes and labels technique well known to the experts in fields of chemical and biological materials science.

Fiber reinforced polymer composites are an extremely broad and versatile class of material.Their high strength coupled with lightweight leads to their use wherever structural efficiency is at a premium. Applications can be found in aircraft, process plants, sporting goods and military equipment. However they are heterogeneous in construction and antisotropic, which makes making strength prediction extremely difficult especially compared to that of a metal. 

Understanding damage and failure of composite materials is critical for reliable and cost-effective engineering design. Bringing together materials mechanics and modeling, this book provides a complete guide to damage, fatigue and failure of composite materials.
