The mechanisms by which delamination contributes to the failure of fibre-reinforced
composites are reviewed. Through-thickness failure owing to interlaminar stresses is …

Variable amplitude fatigue testing is a time consuming process and a necessary part of
certification for aircraft structures. While the frequency of loading can be increased for testing …

One of the most challenging and still unsolved problems within the design and operation of
composite structures is the prediction of its behavior under fatigue loading. This problem is …

The objective of this study is to investigate failure mechanisms of impact-damaged CFRP
laminates subjected to compression fatigue. Two kinds of composite materials …

An efficient analytical model is described which predicts the value of compressive strain
below which buckle-driven propagation of delaminations in aerospace composites will not …

The compression fatigue behaviors of CFRP laminates with impacted or quasi-static
indented damage for two material systems, CCF300/QY9511 and CCF300/5428, were …

The effect of impact on static strength and fatigue durability is reviewed. Impacts are
categorised in terms of the impact velocity, impacting mass and impact energy. At low-to …

In this study, the residual strength characteristics of woven carbon–fiber-reinforced plastic
(CFRP) composites were evaluated according to variations of the impact energy as well as …

A simple analytical model for the prediction of the compressive strength of composite
structures with Barely Visible Impact Damage (BVID) subject to static loading is presented …

Out-of-plane loads induce unsymmetrical damage modes in the laminate thickness
direction. Consequently, the authors have recently proposed overcoming the conventional …
