This paper presents a rigorous numerical investigation into the structural response of a composite laminate T-piece specimen subjected to a mechanical “pull-off” load case. Initially, a linear elastic stress analysis is conducted, showing very high stresses at the free-edge. In a further analysis, special-purpose interface elements are then inserted where appropriate and used to predict both the crack...
An experimental investigation of the failure load of T-joint structures has been undertaken, with a focus on the influence of process induced defects within the deltoid area. Static pull-off tension tests have been conducted for a comparative assessment. An extensive literature review on the subject to place is also presented. The role of the deltoid area in stabilizing the primary load bearing plies...
