The heterogeneity and anisotropy of fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composites results in a
highly complex mechanical response and failure under multiaxial loading states. Among the …

An experimental study was focused on investigation of the failure properties of plain woven
glass/epoxy composites under off-axis and biaxial tension loading conditions. Four fibre …

Planar biaxial testing has been applied to a variety of materials to obtain relevant
information for mechanical characterization and constitutive modeling in presence of …

The anisotropic nature of fibre-reinforced composite materials is often not accounted for
during the design process of composite cruciform specimens. Here, the response of …

Over the past years, various studies have been investigated in order to characterize the
behavior of composite materials under different multi-axial loading conditions. One of the …

In recent years, several studies have been initiated to comprehend and predict the failure
mechanisms of composite materials. The principal objective of these investigations is to …

A new test method is developed for progressive characterization of ply-level damage in
composites subjected to biaxial loading. A novel biaxial cruciform specimen is designed to …

The use of FRP composite materials in aerospace, aviation, marine, automotive and civil
engineering industry has increased rapidly in recent years due to their high specific strength …

This study presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of an inplane
tension-tension (IPTT) biaxial test geometry. The IPTT specimen was based on an existing …

This article describes mechanical differences in behaviour of groove squared profiles, which
are made of carbon composite material. Specimens were made by winding of prepreg …
