Interaction between fibres in the transverse damage in composites
A micromechanical study is carried out taking the initial expected damage that is manifested in a composite laminate by the debonding between the fibres and matrix in the 90° lamina as a reference. Questions such as the influence in the appearance of damage of the inter-fibre distance and the orient...

| Summary: | A micromechanical study is carried out taking the initial expected damage that is manifested in a composite laminate by the debonding between the fibres and matrix in the 90° lamina as a reference. Questions such as the influence in the appearance of damage of the inter-fibre distance and the orientation of the fibres with respect to the loading direction are studied. Additionally, the effect of the presence of damage at a secondary fibre in the subsequent appearance of further debonding is also analysed. Finally, the conclusions reached are supported by experimental evidence obtained by testing [0,90n]S laminates. |
