Prof. Wims research interests are :

• Damage models for fatigue behaviour of plain woven glass fabric/epoxy composites
  
• Variable-amplitude loading of unidirectional glass/epoxy composites
  
• Development of an efficient shell element for the simulation of fatigue damage in large composite structures
  
• Study of the fatigue behaviour of carbon/PPS thermoplastics
  
• Interaction of normal and shear stress in static loading of fibre-reinforced composites
