Abstract
A series of carbon fibre epoxy laminates have been prepared with a range of fibre orientations. The laminates have been tested under compression loadi ng conditions to measure the specific energy absorption in crushing. A rela tionship has been identified between the specific sustained crushing stress and the interlaminar shear stress of the materials. This relationship mine rs a similar trend identified for glass fibre composites in an earlier prog ramme. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
