Carbon fibre laminates with engineered fracture behaviour

A new bio-inspired microstructure design approach was developed to improve the translaminar toughness and damage tolerance of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) structures. The microstructure designs take inspiration from the microstructures of biological composites by adopting the most importan...
