A Research on Characterization for Damage Tolerance of Composite Laminates

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper mainly presents a method that can characterize the damage tolerance capability of composite laminates based on the knee-point feature. Based on the experimental study and numerical result, the Knee-point mechanism has been investigated. A new influence coefficient, δ, was introduced, which is applied to calculating the influence of every piles damage to the residual strength of the whole laminates. Finally, a conclusion can be drawn that the damage of 0° piles can represent the damage of the whole laminates, whilst the damage area of 0° piles can be applied to characterizing the damage tolerance capability of composite laminates.
