Experimental investigation of the fatigue behaviour of off-axis CFRP laminates using Non Destructive Techniques Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Composite materials are in practice subjected to fatigue loading, which most of the times happens to be multiaxial. This multiaxiality can for example appear in tubular specimens under combined tension/torsion loading or in cruciform specimens tested bi-axially. Due to the anisotropy that characterizes composite materials, multiaxial internal loads also occur even under simple uniaxial external loading. Therefore, it is preferable to use ...

Multiaxial damage identification of angle-ply laminates using acoustic emission and other online monitoring techniques Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The aim of this research is the combined use of acoustic emission with other online monitoring techniques in order to identify the damage sequence of carbon fiber reinforced epoxies. Initially, common lay-ups were tested and their acoustic emission was monitored and analyzed with respect to the developing damage, in order to identify basic damage modes. Following this, angle-ply laminates were tested to characterize the damage evolution under ...
