Towards aerospace grade thin-ply composites: Effect of ply thickness, fibre, matrix and interlayer toughening on strength and damage tolerance

John Botsis, Robin Amacher, Joël Cugnoni, Larissa Sorensen, Sébastien Kohler

Thin-ply composites represent a promising approach to further improve the performance of carbon fibre composite structures thanks to their ability to delay the onset of matrix cracking and delamination up to the point of fibre dominated failure. However, t ...

Thin ply composites: Experimental characterization and modeling of size-effects

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni, Robin Amacher, Larissa Sorensen

Thin-ply composites are rapidly gaining interest in the composite industry, not only because of the larger design possibilities that they offer, but also because of positive size effects that have been shown to improve performance in various loading condit ...
