Abstract:It is known that the stresses in lamination planes of composite structures are pronouncedly three‐dimensional, and that criticality of the lamination defects is often very high. It is also known that the classical methods of photoelastic stress analysis are often not reliable when stress states are three‐dimensional, with the exception of the gamma‐ray stress‐freezing method. The paper presents analytical and empirical evidence that the recently developed “isodyne” techniques allow reliable determination of th… 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.
