Effect of delamination on the flexural stiffness of composite laminates
Abstract This paper presents the results of a study on the effect of delamination on the flexural stiffness of advancedcomposite laminates. Three- and four-point bending tests were conducted on graphite-epoxy laminates with embedded delaminations. The experimental results were corroborated with finite element method results as well as with simple beam theory models. The delaminations did not cause any degradation of the four-point bending stiffness. However, the three-point bending stiffness test showed that the delamination did degrade the stiffness by as much as 34%.
