Abstract: In recent years, to enhance the interlaminar fracture roughness of CFRP laminates, interlaminar-toughened laminates have been developed in which resin rich layers are placed in interlaminar regions. In the present study, stress and displacement fields in interlaminar-toughened cross-ply laminates with transverse cracks are analyzed. The analysis is based on a two-dimensional model which assumes that generalized plane strain conditions prevail. Account is taken of thermal residual stresses arising from a mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients of the 0° ply, interlaminar resin and 90° ply. The analytical results are shown for the laminates with interlaminar resin layers of various thicknesses. The analysis will be a basis for the optimal design of laminates with interlaminar resin layers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
