Abstract
null null The formation of out-of-plane ply deformation causes significant reductions in the mechanical properties of composites. In-plane fibre misalignments also cause reductions in the compressive strength, yet the origins of these defects are misunderstood. This paper presents a new mechanism for the formation of wrinkles, which is based upon the shear forces generated as a result of mismatches in the coefficient of thermal expansion of...
