Discrete Damage Mechanics Applied To Transverse Matrix Cracking
… of thermal expansion (CTE) reduction due to transverse matrix cracking in laminated composite structures is implemented as a user subroutine in Abaqus. The assumptions of the model are a symmetric laminate under in-plane loads and linear distribution of intralaminar shear stresses. The model …

Damage analysis and mechanical response of as-received and heat-treated Nicalon/CAS-II glass-ceramic matrix composites
… in air for 100 hours. Changes at the fiber/matrix interface/interphase due to post-processing heat treatments were also characterized. The combined effect of fiber debonding and transverse matrix cracking in both 90° and 0° plies plays an important role in damage development in [0/90]₄₅ …

Considerations of the Impedance Method, Wave Propagation, and Wireless Systems for Structural Health Monitoring
… Two different damage mechanisms are examined: transverse matrix cracking and edge delamination. With both composite defects, a sample is interrogated with the impedance method before and after damage is introduced. The exact amount of damage in each specimen is found using radiography and …

The effect of specimen size on the mechanical response of laminated composite coupons loaded in tension and flexure
… This effect was more pronounced for the matrixdominated [+30/-30/90₂]<sub>ns</sub>. Both the [+30/-30/90₂]<sub>ns</sub> and the quasi-isotropic [+45/-45/0/90}<sub>ns</sub> laminates seemed to be approaching a maximum strength, beyond which the strength scaling either stops, or is …
