...WP Seneviratne; JS Tomblin In order to use the Iosipescu V-notch beam test for determining the in-plane shear strength of high strength 2D 2 × 2 biaxial braided composites, two modifications were made to the specimen geometry. First, they were tabbed to prevent buckling at the gage section...

...H-T Hu A nonlinear material constitutive model, including a nonlinear in-plane shear formulation and a failure criterion, for fiber-composite laminate materials is employed to carry out finite-element buckling analyses for composite shells under hydrostatic compressive loads. It has been shown...

... refinement) and finite thickness interply layers. The different loading conditions include in-plane and out-of-plane bending, combined axial tension and in-plane shear, twisting, uniform temperature, and uniform moisture. Results obtained indicate that axial tension causes the smallest magnitude...

... stress-strain curves are given for a number of resin-matrix composites reinforced with S2 Glass, AS4 carbon, and T300 carbon fibers and Kevlar 285-weave cloth. There are data for tension, compression, and in-plane shear. Individual curves are given for various environmental conditioning treatments before...
