Investigation on Damage Tolerance of Thick Laminate Composite Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study is to investigate the compressive strength of the carbon/epoxy thick laminate after damage. Through damage tolerance of thick laminate is not standardized test because specimens exceed typical specimen thickness described in the ASTM standard, design allowable of thick laminate shall be determined by the experiment to address design criteria of the structure and incorporate functional capability with damage level. In this study, it is performed the research on damage tolerance of thick laminate adopting aircraft structure. The damage tolerance of thick laminates such as no damage and impact damage is evaluated under compression loading.
