  • A study of compression loading of composite laminates

    Creator:
    Berbinau, Pierre J.
    Abstract:
    The compressive behavior of continuous fiber composites is not as well understood as their tensile behavior because research and industrial applications have until recently focused on the latter. Furthermore, most theoretical and experimental studies on the compression of composites have examined the case of unidirectional specimens with fibers along the...

  • Experimental Classification of Intralaminar Matrix Compression Damage Propagation in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers

    Creator:
    Daniels, Mitchell Alan
    Abstract:
    Composites often are able to carry more load after damage due to the structure of laminates. In addition, damage can be difficult to detect in composites compared to homogeneous materials. Understanding the behavior of composite material after damage is vital for composite structural design. Currently, experimental methods exist for classifying...
