Mechanical Study

A micro mechanical study of Carbon/Epoxy composites with internally dropped plies has been made using micro-moiré interferometry. The experimental results show that there is a stress concentration region before the dropped ply. Micro cracks were initiated and propagated in this region. Two failure mechanisms in the dropped ply region were observed.

Photography Method

The dynamic fracture behavior of PVB laminated glass during impact has been studied by both theoretic and finite element approaches. To make the analysis of cracking on PVB laminated glass more accurate and direct, high-speed photography method is introduced in this paper. Different crack patterns as well as their sequences of appearance are visualized. Finally, typical crack is measured in order to obtain important fracture characteristics such as crack velocity and acceleration.
