Firstly, the relationships between the used formulae and the results obtained are analyzed on the curved beams with different thicknesses and tested in compliance with ASTM D6415 standard. Secondly, both the interlaminar tensile stresses and the post-failure behaviour are determined. Finally, the critical area, where delamination begins, is reinforced through-the-thickness by means of tufting technology with different densities. The influence on the maximum interlaminar tensile stress as well as delamination evolution of the carbon/epoxy laminated curved beams are analyzed. These results play an important role in the prediction of interlaminar tensile strength and post failure behaviour of laminated curved beams. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 4.101 2017 MATERIALS SCIENCE, COMPOSITES 5 / 26 = 0.192 2017 Q1 T1 1.905 2017 Civil and Structural Engineering 2017 Q1 Ceramics and Composites 2017 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-6100-7412 Cuartero Salafranca, Jesus Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-1647-4011 Miravete de Marco, Antonio Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9702-9314 Miralbes Buil, Ramón Universidad de Zaragoza 5004 530 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
