Inelastic deformation with attendant “ductility” enables stresses to be redistributed and thereby diminishes stress concentrations [8,9,15]. This peak stress reduction is particularly crucial to notch ...
A shear test method for composite materials, typically termed Double-Notch Shear, has been in existence for many years and is still used, but not without controversy. It is defined by ASTM ...

Fracture mechanics and notch sensitivity analysis lie at the heart of understanding how flaws, notches and discontinuities influence the integrity of engineering materials. By combining experimental ...
Composites are heterogeneous materials made of several distinct constituents bonded together, giving rise to better properties. These constituents are generally divided into two main categories: ...
Beyond the obvious lightweighting advantages, the thing that makes composites so appealing to the aerospace market is the variability that permits engineers to tailor laminates to a wide range of ...
