The use of ultra-thin plies in composite laminates offers several advantages over traditional
plies. These include increased design flexibility, improved damage tolerance, and enhanced …

Aerospace and aircraft companies follow a pyramidal structure of testing, ranging from
specimen tests to full‐scale structure tests, for aircraft structural design. At the base level …

Due to the stress concentration caused by the hole, failure of composite structures is prone
to start in the vicinity of the hole edge. Thereby, it is very necessary to investigate the failure …

The composite laminates with circular holes find numerous applications in aerospace,
automobile manufacturing and other fields due to the design and assembly of structural …

Thin-ply technology provides increasing possibilities for composite structures, expanding the
design space for ply thickness and laminate layup. This study examines the effects of ply …

Laminated composites with thin-ply unidirectional prepregs are popular due to their higher
in-situ strength as compared with thick-ply laminates due to different failure mechanisms …

Tapered CFRP laminates formed by dropping off plies are extensively used on modern
aircraft due to the special design requirement for certain components. Thin-ply composites …

Given the current lack of research data on the delamination behavior of spread-tow woven
composites, this study aims to systematically characterize the mode-I interlaminar fracture …

This paper demonstrated the benefits of thin plies for enhancing the flexural response of
conventional composites at elevated temperatures. Two types of carbon fabrics ie, traditional …

Thin-ply composites are promising structural materials because of their excellent damage
resistance and fatigue properties, as well as the advantage of improved design freedom in …
