Abstract
This paper presents an analytical and experimental study to examine the behaviour of notched carbon/epoxy laminates containing out of plane fibre waviness defects. The open hole tension specimen geometry is modified to include carefully controlled waviness defects. The specimen is proposed to study the interaction between the notch and out of plane waviness. A new methodology using the modified average stress fracture criterion is developed for predicting the failure of notched composites containing localised waviness. The approach can be used to assess the quality of a given processing technique for the manufacturing of the composite system.
