Blunt notch strength

Lay-up optimisation of fibre metal laminates based on fatigue crack propagation and residual strength

“…This interest led to research in characterisation and understanding of the F&DT behaviour of FMLs. In the literature, many studies have been presented to predict properties, like fatigue crack initiation [2][3][4], fatigue crack propagation [5][6][7][8], blunt-notch strength [9] and residual strength [10,11]. As a results, prediction methods were developed to predict the corresponding behaviour for FMLs.…”
