Scaling of fracture response in over-height compact tension tests (2014)
Journal Article
Xu, X., Wisnom, M. R., Mahadik, Y., & Hallett, S. R. (2015). Scaling of fracture response in over-height compact tension tests. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 69, 40-48. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesa.2014.11.002

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
Xu, X., Wisnom, M. R., Mahadik, Y., & Hallett, S. R. (2014). An experimental investigation into size effects in quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates with sharp and blunt notches. Composites Science and Technology, 100, 220-227. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compscitech.2014.06.002

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...
