摘要: The tensile strength of open-hole fibre reinforced composite laminates depends on in-plane, thickness and ply lay-up scaling. Translaminar (fibre direction) mode I fracture toughness has recently been experimentally determined to be thickness dependent. This paper presents a computational study of the tensile strength prediction of open-hole laminates using a cohesive zone model. To the authors' knowledge, it is for the first time in the literature that the thickness-dependence of translaminar fracture toughness is accounted for …
