Influence of moisture and thermal cycling on delamination flaws in transparent armor materials: Thermoplastic polyurethane bonded glass-polycarbonate laminates
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Transparent armor laminates (TALs), manufactured from layers of soda-lime-silica float glass, thermoplastic polyurethane, and polycarbonate, are known to suffer unpredictable delamination in ambient-condition service, ... -
Prediction of ply crack evolution and stiffness degradation in multidirectional symmetric laminates under multiaxial stress states
(Elsevier, 2018-01-15)A comprehensive study was performed to assess the influence of microscopic ply crack interactions on crack surface opening (COD) and sliding displacements (CSD) for arbitrary plies in general symmetric multidirectional ...
