Abstract

Categories, fabrication techniques, characterization techniques, and effect of waviness on properties of fibre reinforced composite materials and structures are reviewed. Waviness exerts a great affluence on properties of composite materials and structures, which leads to a significant degradation or reduction of mechanical performances, such as static compressive/tensile strength, compressive fatigue life, and so on. Various factors related to waviness nested into the composite materials and structures, including wave geometry, thickness position of the wavy layer, percentages of layers with waviness, are considered and stated in detail. Failure mode of laminate containing waviness and the reasons for their failure initiation are analytically stated. At last, some prospects about this study are presented.
