Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.

This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract

Studies on damage development in composite laminates have been conducted by many investigators [1–3]. In the case of crossply laminates under uniaxial tensile loading, whether monotonic or cyclic, the first stage of damage consists of transverse matrix cracking in the 90° plies. These cracks are nearly equidistant and increase in density up to a characteristic limiting value. In the later stages of loading, the damage evolves so that longitudinal cracks are generated in the 0° plies, followed by micro-delaminations at the intersections of the two sets of cracks, and finally fiber failures leading to global failure [1].
