Notch sensitivity of angle-ply carbon fibre composites

Publisher page

Abstract

The notch sensitivity of carbon composite angle-ply is investigated experimentally. It is found unexpectedly that these laminates are notch insensitive for almost all ply angles, except in those cases when the fibres are inclined at more than 70 degrees to the loading axis.
