Effect of fiber-matrix debonding on notched strength of titanium metal matrix composites [PDF]

Two specimen configuration of a (0/90)2s SCS-6/Ti-15-3 laminate were tested and analyzed: a center hole (CH) specimen and a double edge notch (DEN) specimen. The two specimen configurations failed at similar stress levels.
