The accurate determination of residual stresses has a crucial role in understanding the
complex interactions between microstructure, mechanical state, mode (s) of failure, and …

Residual stress is inherent in any fiber reinforced composite, created by the laminates
processing route and high levels of anisotropy. The aim of this article is to provide an up to …

This review examines various studies on reducing tensile stresses generated in a polymer
matrix composite without increasing the mass or dimension of the material. The sources of …

The manufacturing route for polymer composites inevitably introduces residual stress. It
entails cooling from high cure temperature to room temperature accompanied by …

In the present work, efforts were made to determine the residual stress in laminated
composites by three semi destructive methods: Hole Drilling, Ring Core, and Slitting …
