Prediction of the Ultimate Strength of Notched and Unnotched IM7/977-3 Laminated Composites Using a Micromechanics Approach

This paper proposes a multi-scale analysis technique based on the micromechanics of failure (MMF) to predict and investigate the damage progression and ultimate strength at failure of laminated composites. A lamina’s representative volume element (RVE) is developed to predict and calculate constitue...
