Abstract:In this research, the effects of induced delamination on the variation
of the mechanical properties of composite laminates subjected to bending
loads are investigated using a micromechanical model. For this purpose,
the variation of the mechanical properties of delaminated laminates is
determined using stress analysis of damaged ply and classical laminate
theory (CLT) relationships. Using the proposed model and CLT, the
fracture toughness due to induced delamination formation is presented in
cross-ply laminate… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
