In situ fibre fracture measurement in carbon–epoxy laminates using high resolution computed tomography
Source abstract
Abstract
► Notched [90/0]s carbon epoxy laminates loaded to failure. ► Synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) used to capture damage progression. ► Non destructive method allows all fibre breaks and matrix cracks to be identified. ► Accumulation of fibre breaks with load analysed. ► Providing data for which existing models can be informed and validated
