متن کاملNondestructive Evaluation of Flaw Criticality in Graphite-Epoxy Laminates
An analytical and experimental study is conducted to determine criticality of interlaminar disbands by NDE methods. Criticality of such flaws in a shear environment (action of shear near support) is defined in terms of crack propagation and is analyzed by principles and methods of fracture mechanics. Growth of disbands under cyclic loading is also being studied. Fajlure under compressive loadin...
