Efficient sizing methods for composites primary structures in automotive applications
Paper in proceeding, 2014
In this paper, a set of failure criteria for Non Crimp Fabric (NCF) composites are presented. The proposed failure criteria are physically based and can take into account the orthotropic character of NCF composites by addressing the lost transverse isotropy. The criteria are compared to experimental data and show good agreement.
