Determination of in-plane and through-the-thickness coefficients of thermal expansion in composite angle brackets using digital image correlation
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
A procedure for the simultaneous determination of in-plane and through-the-thickness coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) in composite angle brackets is presented. Carbon fibre/epoxy samples are heated and digital image ...
