Abstract
The size and character of the damage zone at the tip of sharp notches in fiber reinforced plastic laminates have been investigated. The variables studied were the stress intensity factor, specimen size, laminate thickness, ply thickness, ply orientation, and fiber properties. The damage zone consists of subcracks parallel to the fibers of each ply, in some cases accompanied by delamination between plies. The damage zone is found to increase in...
