High resolution tomographic imaging and modelling of notch tip damage in a laminated composite

Synchrotron radiation-computed tomography (SRCT) has been used to observe in situ damage growth and enable micromechanical damage characterization in [90/0]s carbon fibre-epoxy composite samples loaded in uniaxial tension to stresses ranging from 30% to 90% of the nominal failure stress. A three dim...
