This volume contains forty-seven peer-reviewed papers selected from those presented at the third ESIS TC4 conference 15-18 September 2002. The role of the committee is to advancing fracture mechanics test methods for polymers adhesive joints and composites, clearly reflected in this collection of the latest research in the field.The selected polymer papers focus on films and the characterization of fracture behavior under cyclic or high rate loading. Papers on adhesive joints under shear and high rate test conditions, as well as the use of fracture mechanics to measure adhesion and predict neutral strength feature prominently. Intense research activity in the areas of angle ply delamination, third direction reinforcement and modeling of bridging and damage ensured these all feature prominently in these latest preceedings.
