A combined experimental and numerical approach for characterizing ply-level damage in tape-laminate composites subjected to biaxial loading

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 promote damage formation in the gage region and enable ex-situ imaging of damage using X-ray computed tomography. Tests ar...
