The use of X-ray diffraction measurements to determine the effect of bending loads on internal stresses in aluminum inclusions embedded in unidirectional graphite-fibre/PMR-15 composite
A testing methodology for the determination of residual thermal stresses in the polymer-matrix of unidirectional polymer-matrix composites has been proposed in Ref. [1] [Benedikt B, Kumosa M, Predecki PK, Kumosa L, Castelli MG, Sutter JK. An analysis of residual thermal stresses in a unidirectional graphite/PMR-15 composite based on the X-ray diffraction measurements. Composites Science and Techno
