Analysis of failure modes for a non-crimp basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composite under flexural and interlaminar shear loading - ScienceDirect
This study investigates the mechanical properties (interlaminar shear and flexural strength) and failure modes of a basalt/epoxy composite, manufactured using a non-crimp-fabric (NCF) with a vacuum assisted resin infusion process. Under flexural bending, damage initiated on the compression side between 20-50% of peak load and progressed from ply to ply with increasing load.....
