ON THE CONSEQUENCES OF A MODEL FOR THE EFFECT OF THICKNESS ON FRACTURE TOUGHNESS AS APPLIED TO LAMINATED STRUCTURES

Abstract

A model previously suggested for predicting the fracture behavior of thin sheet is extended to cover laminated composites. Thus extended, this model leads to a prediction of the behavior of laminated Charpy bars which is at least qualitatively substantiated by the observed behavior. (Author)
