Unification of strength scaling between unidirectional, quasi-isotropic, and notched carbon/epoxy laminates (2016)
Journal Article

An investigation into size effects and notch sensitivity in quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates was carried out. The purpose is to draw a complete picture of the strength scaling in unidirectional, quasi-isotropic, and notched carbon/epoxy laminat...

A numerical investigation into size effects in centre-notched quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates (2015)
Journal Article

Numerical modelling of scaled centre-notched [45/90/-45/0]4s carbon/epoxy laminates was carried out. The in-plane dimensions of the models were scaled up by a factor of up to 16. A Finite Element (FE) method using the explicit code LS-Dyna was applie... Read More about A numerical investigation into size effects in centre-notched quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates.

Scaling of fracture response in over-height compact tension tests (2014)
Journal Article

An experimental investigation into in-plane scaled Over-height Compact Tension (OCT) [45/90/-45/0]4s carbon/epoxy laminates was carried out to study the scaling of fracture response. The dimensions of the baseline specimens were scaled up and down by... Read More about Scaling of fracture response in over-height compact tension tests.

An experimental investigation into size effects in quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates with sharp and blunt notches (2014)
Journal Article

An experimental investigation into size effects in notched [45/90/-45/0]4s carbon/epoxy laminates is carried out. The in-plane dimensions of the quasi-isotropic laminates are scaled up by a factor of up to 8. Larger Scale 16 specimens with only their...
