Size effects in notched quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates under tensile loads

In this thesis, experimental and numerical investigations into size effects in inplane scaled centre-notched, open-hole and Over-height Compact Tension (OCT) quasi-isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates under tensile loads are carried out. Interrupted tests and X-ray Computed Tomography scanning (CT) are...
