Experimental and numerical studies of the open-hole compressive strength of thin-ply CFRP laminates

Thin prepregs with thickness of less than 0.06 mm support flexible lamination design because it is possible to apply various stacking sequences. The objective of this study is to elucidate the effects of the layer thickness and stacking sequence on the open-hole compressive (OHC) strength for thin-ply carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite (CFRP) laminates. Details of layer thickness and stacking sequence effects on the OHC strength for the...
