Abstract
An experimental study was conducted to determine the fracture behavior of center- notched, unidirectional graphite/epoxy laminates when subjected to tensile loading. The actual behavior is compared to the behavior predicted by a mathematical model based on classical shear-lag assumptions.Keywords
