Abstract
The initiation and growth of a kink band in a uniaxial composite is investigated experimentally. Experiments on unidirectional plates of AS4/PEEK were conducted using a custom biaxial testing device. A relatively stable post-failure response which occurs for displacement controlled shearing under a compressive preload is exploited to observe quasi-static kink band growth. The band initiates from a stress concentration on one of the free edges...
