The first ply failure in composite laminates are studied by 3-D fracture mechanic approach. The fracture model is based on a crack embedded in one of the inner layers. Numeriil results for the case of "angle ply" laminates are based on a general 3-D finite difference progtam. Stress intensi~ factor
Laboratory tests show that for some graphites the calculated stress at failure exceeds the tensile strength in uniform tension by an amount which depends on the test considered and increases with the severity of the stress gradient. Fracture mechanics has been applied to bend, internal pressure and
Six hundred short sections taken from 23 flatsawn 2 x 12-inch planks of construction grade Douglas-fir were tested in tension perpendicular to grain. ~ost of the specimens contained defects in the form of checks, knots, resin streaks, pitch pockets, and pith. Checks were found to be the major streng
