Abstract [en]
Intralaminar cracking in layers of a quasi-isotropic carbon fiber NCF laminate in tension-tension cyclic loading is studied experimentally. Methodology based on modified Weibull analysis is suggested to combine quasi-static and fatigue testing to identify parameters in the crack density growth model. The validity of the assumptions for the given material is experimentally confirmed. The suggested methodology can lead to significant time and material savings in composites fatigue behaviour characterization.
