  • A nonlocal damage theory for laminated plate with application to aircraft damage tolerance

    Creator:
    Nahan, Matthew F.
    Abstract:
    Design of commercial aircraft structure, composed of composite material, requires the prediction of failure loads given large scale damage. In particular, a fuselage of graphite/epoxy lamination was analyzed for damage tolerance given a standard large crack that severed both skin and internal structure. Upon loading, a zone of damage is...
