Short beam shear damage analysis of GLARE laminates based on digital image correlation and finite element analysis

The short beam shear performance of GLARE 3A-3/2 laminates with adhesive layers was investigated by combining the short beam test and the digital image correlation technique. The failure behavior was further analyzed based on finite element simulation and micro failure morphology. The results show an 8% and 58% difference in the short beam strength and bending displacement at failure of laminates along two orthogonal directions; The damage...
