Experimental study of damage propagation in overheight compact tension tests
Paper describes development of damage from sharp notches in composites at level of detail not previously reported. New detail captures behaviour at larger structural level, rather than commonly-used material coupon scale. Work is result of international collaboration with University of British Columbia in Canada [contact: Prof. Vaziri]. Test results subsequently used in collaborations with TU Delft [contact: Prof. van der Meer] and US Air Force Research Laboratories [contact: Materials and Manufacturing Technology Directorate] and led to further publications (e.g. van der Meer et al., J. Comp. Matls., 46, 603-623, 2012).
