Analysis of pseudo-ductility in thin-ply carbon fiber angle-ply laminates

In this paper, the pseudo-ductility characterizations of thin-ply carbon fiber angle-ply laminates are investigated theoretically and experimentally, which considers the effects of resin nonlinearity and fiber rotating dislocation. First, a theoretical model with resin shear non-linearity and fiber rotating dislocation is established to predict the pseudo-ductility responses of thin-ply carbon fiber angle-ply composites. Second, the full-field...
