A study of failure in carbon/foam sandwich composites with stress concentration

Both experimental and numerical studies were performed to understand the failure mechanism of carbon/foam sandwich composite plates with stress concentration. The plates had circular holes and were subjected to bending and compressive loading. Both three-point and four-point bending tests were condu...
