Failure analysis of notched graphite-epoxy tubes

Notched unidirectional graphite/epoxy tubes with fiber orientations of 2.5°, 15°, 45°, and 87.5° were failed in tension, compression, torsion, and combined compression-torsion loading. The stress field around the slot-like notches, aligned with the tube axis, was determined using an infinite flat pl...
