Abstract

The paper outlines the results of an investigation to characterize the response of P75/934 graphite/epoxy tubes with a stacking sequence of [15/0/±10/0/−15] s under pure torsion and combined axial/torsion loading. The experimentally observed nonlinear response and path-dependent failure are discussed in terms of material nonlinearities at the ply level and first-ply failure loads with the help of an analytical model.
