On the Effects of Delamination Damage in Fibre Composite Laminates,

Abstract

This paper from Australia describs the results of a numerical investigation into the effects of delamination and impact damage on the compressive strength of graphite epoxy laminates and bonded metal-to-composite joints. For the laminates considered it is shown that, as the size of the damage increases, a stage is reached after which any further significant increase in the damage results in only a relatively small decrease in the residual compressive strength. Originator-supplied Keywords inlcude: Fibre composites, and Fibre laminates.
