Abstract

Abstract

In this Paper, the saturate spacing of transverse cracks of the 90°ply is originally calculated by the 3-D finite element method. Thus, a new approach is put forward for predicting the saturate spacing of transverse cracks.
- transverse crack,
- saturate crack spacing,
- damage,
- stress
