Abstract
Failure in woven composite laminates subject to global shear load is studied. Laminates are manufactured, tested and analyzed using X-ray computed tomography, scanning electron microscopy and finite element models. It is found that the stress distribution along the thickness direction is dependent on the layer shifting that alters different yarn interactions, which in turn, affects delamination and failure onset. A suggested failure mechanism is in agreement with experimental observations.
