On Cyclic-Fatigue Crack Growth in Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Epoxy–Polymer Composites

The growth of cracks between plies, i.e., delamination, in continuous fibre polymer matrix composites under cyclic-fatigue loading in operational aircraft structures has always been a very important factor, which has the potential to significantly decrease the service life of such structures. Whilst...
