    Approaches for Improving the Damage Tolerance of Composite Structures

    The damage tolerance of carbon-fibre-reinforced composites tends to be considerably lower than that of many metals or composites containing glass or organic fibres. One result is the susceptibility to impact, ...

    Delamination Buckling of Laminated Plates

    The compressive strength of composite plates can be considerably reduced if they are damaged by delaminations. To study the failure process buckling loads of laminates that contain rectangular, circular and el...
