What does delamination refer to in composites?
What does delamination refer to in composites?
Separation or splitting between the layers of a laminated composite material.
Delamination has no effect on the load-carrying capacity of composite structures.
Delamination has no effect on the load-carrying capacity of composite structures.
False (B)
Delamination can be caused by the weakening of the ______ layer between adjacent composite layers.
Delamination can be caused by the weakening of the ______ layer between adjacent composite layers.
Study Notes
Delamination in Composites
- Delamination is the separation between layers (plies) in a composite material.
- This damage weakens the structure and reduces its load-carrying capacity.
- It is a major concern for high-performance composite applications.
- Delamination occurs due to the weakening of the interface layer between adjacent composite layers.
- This weakening can be caused by various factors including internal stresses, external loading, or manufacturing defects.
- The diagram shows a delamination between layers of a composite material, with arrows indicating forces acting on the material.
