Abstract:
In this data article, we present detailed failure process of big open-hole carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite laminates subjected to tension loading, which are tested by digital image correlation (DIC) system and electrical strain gauge system. In experiments, three different lay-ups are applied tension loading until specimens' failure. Several strain gages are distributed in different locations of specimens to measure strains during loading, at the same time, DIC is adopted to obtain field strains of specimens. The maximum force and failure modes of different lay-ups composite laminates are tested. The failure process is displayed by strain field images, and final failure images are also supplied in this article. Detailed numerical analysis are reported in [1].
