Microdamage in Composite Laminates: Experiments and Observation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The first mode of damage in fiber reinforced composite laminates is usually intralaminar cracking in layers with off-axis orientation regarding the main loading direction. This papers analyzes the most typical methods used for the characterization of the damage state: edge replicas, optical microscopy, x-ray images, acoustic emission, speckle interferometry and Raman spectroscopy
