Abstract
A series of fully scaled tests on unidirectional and quasi-isotropic carbon fibre-epoxy has been carried out. Unidirectional specimens showed a decreasing tensile strength with increasing specimen size, with a reduction of 14% over a factor of 8 change in linear dimension. Quasi-isotropic specimens increased in strength with size when the thickness was changed by repeating the sublaminate stacking sequence, with a 10% increase from a single to...
