't Hart, W.G.J. (author), Frijns, R.H.W.M. (author)Constant amplitude tension-compression fatigue tests were performed on notched (± 45, 02, 90, 02)s coupon specimens of the composite systems T300/F593, T400H/6376, T800H//5245C and IM6/APC-2. Delamination damage growth as a function of the number of fatigue cycles was determined using the ultrasonic C-scan technique. Considering the resistance...report 1989

Laméris, J. (author), Minderhoud, P. (author)The mechanical behaviour of mechanically fastened double lap carbon-epoxy joints has been investigated both by experiments (static tests) and by analysis. Several fastener types and joint geometries has been investigated. In the experimental programme the Fibredux 6376/T400H material was used. Two methods to analyze mechanically fastened...report 1989

't Hart, W.G.J. (author)The damage development In notched (± 45, 0„, 90, 0-) carbon-epoxy coupon specimens tested under different loading conditions was determined. Constant amplitude tests at R = -1 and R = 0.1 as well as flight simulation tests were performed to establish those stress values for which no damage growth occurs.report 1988

Moss, A.C. (author), 't Hart, W.G.J. (author)This investigation examined carbon/epoxy and aramide/epoxy composites in interlaminar shear and in open-hole tensile tests at 90 to the unidirectional fibre orientation. Epoxy resin was also tested under tension. Photomicroscopy and the S.E.M. were used to study the fracture surfaces. Wet tests were performed to investigate the influence of...report 1986

de Koning, A.U. (author)This study deals with fracture mechanics aspects of mode 1 crack growth under montonically increasing (quasi-static) loads. Using the finite element method stable crack growth and the plastic deformation fields associated with this process are analyzed. A two parameter approach is proposed for a description of initiation and subsequent stable...report 1985

Komorowski, J.P. (author)This report is the first in a series of literature reviews in which hygrothermal effects on aerospace composite materials (CM) are examined. This first report (Part I) deals primarily with fundamental aspects of the diffusion of moisture into, and from, composite materials. The effects of temperature under both steady state and transient...report 1983

de Jonge, J.B. (author)The report starts with a general review of the loading of transport aircraft fuselages and the consequent fuselage skin stresses Taking the F-28 fuselage as an example, the potential weight savings that can be obtained by using ARALL as skin material are assessed. The report ends with conclusions and recommendationsreport 1982

't Hart, W.G.J. (author)An experimental investigation was performed to examine the effect of low energy impact damage on tension-compression fatigue properties of sandwich panels. The specimens consisted of a 9 mm thick Nomex honeycomb and face sheets of (0,± 45) and (± 45,0) Carbon/epoxy. Drop weight impact was applied to create internal laminate damage. In order to...report 1981
