Abstract

Two methods were used to investigate the variability of tensile failure strain of unidirectional high strength carbon/epoxy. Scaled tests on glass/carbon hybrid specimens showed a significant size effect and reduction of failure strain with stressed volume consistent with a Weibull modulus of 25. Ply fragmentation tests were also carried out, producing multiple carbon fractures in a single specimen. Strains from these tests also fitted a Weibull distribution, and gave a similar Weibull modulus to the scaled tests.
