Fatigue Damage - Strength Relationships in Composite Laminates. Volume 2

Abstract

This report presents information and experience generated during the subject investigation which provided support for the major thrust of the effort, but was not the eventual focus of the program. The activities are discussed in the context of the various experimental techniques used (and developed) to investigate fracture-related damage development. While much of the information discussed is not complete, it is thought that a description of the experimental methods and experiences will be valuable to the technical community. Included are descriptions of virtually every experimental technique used in this program and a variety of findings not discussed elsewhere.
