Abstract

The blunt notch strength of FMLs is discussed with respect to the deformation and failure phenomena of the individual constituents. The influence of metal plasticity, the splitting and delamination phenomena in the composite layers, and fibre failure are discussed. Various failure criteria and theories are presented to describe the blunt notch strength in the major material axes and under off-axis angles with respect to these axes.
