The influence of different lay-up parameters on the fatigue response of carbon/epoxy laminates under internal multiaxial stress states Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The inherent anisotropy of composites complicates their damage response. The influence of multiaxiality, particularly in carbon-based composites, is not thoroughly understood due to obstacles related to damage monitoring during loading. In this study, the response of different carbon/epoxy laminates under fatigue is examined through dedicated in situ microscopic observations. By varying the orientation of off-axis layers, the impact of ...
