A series of tensile tests on scaled quasi-isotropic laminates have been carried out and modelled using finite element analysis to predict failure. Observations during testing and examination of the failed test specimens showed significant influence of matrix cracking and delamination on the final failure. Initially the virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) was used to determine the applied load that...
The use of an instrumented impact test set-up to evaluate the influence of water ingress on the impact response of a carbon–epoxy (C–E) laminated composite system containing discontinuous buffer strips (BS) has been examined. The data on the BS-free C–E sample in dry conditions are used as reference to compare with the data derived from those immersed in water. The work demonstrated the utility of...
