摘要
Matrix cracking models developed for cross-ply composite laminates cannot easily be applied to more complicated geometries. In this paper a detailed analysis of the effect of matrix cracking on the longitudinal Young's Modulus of a [0/45](s) plate under uniaxial tension is attempted. The theoretical approach, based on a semi-analytical generalized plane strain model, is compared to experimental data obtained by microscopic strain, measurements on a fiber sensor using the technique of laser Raman Spectroscopy. The experimental results are in a good agreement with theoretical stiffness degradation predictions obtained using the semi-analytical model.
