| Abstract: | In this study the finite element method is used to analyse the notch effect and the behaviour of notch cracks in adhesively composite laminate under tension by computing respectively the stress concentration factor at the notch tip which characterize the notch strength and the stress intensity factor at the crack tip which characterize the resistance to the crack propagation. The effects of the adhesive properties and fiber orientation on the variation of both stress concentration and stress intensity factors are highlighted. The obtained results show that the notch strength is reduced in the layer of the laminate of which the fiber orientation is in the applied load direction; the resistance to the crack propagation is also reduced in this type of layer. The stress intensity factor at the tip of notch crack exhibits an asymptotic behaviour as the crack length increases. |
