Abstract

The present work includes a summary of the doctoral thesis entitled "Complexity of the structural response of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites". This PhD thesis focused on analyzing the nonlinear mechanical response of a set of stacking sequences, with main [...]

Abstract

The non-linear behaviour ocurring in symmetrical angle-ply laminates formed by unidirectional layers of carbon fiber reinforced polymeric matrix (CFRP), known as pseudo-ductility, has been previously studied numerically and experimentally under different uniaxial, biaxial and bending [...]

Abstract

A numerical and experimental study is performed on biaxial tests with cruciform specimens in which at least one direction is under compression. Continuous carbon fibre reinforced polymer matrix laminates are [...]
