| Abstract |
This article presents a first approach of hygrothermal microcracking in stitched crossply
laminates. The presentation includes the definition of the material mesostructure and the selection
of a characterization method adapted to the specificity of the study. The hygrothermal loading
selected is discussed and the evolution of the crack density in stitched crossply composites during
the loading is presented and commented. |
