Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | We successfully predicted and experimentally a means to arrest a rapidly (1km/sec) growing crack in a composite structure. |
| Exploitation Route | We have applied for an Horizon 2020 grant on crack arrest, but were unsuccessful |
| Sectors | Aerospace Defence and Marine Transport |
| Description | The findings from CRASHCOMPS are providing input into a proposal submission to EPSRC by Imperial College and University of Bristol called NEXTComp. |
