This paper discusses the matrix cracking sequence in a [0 2 /90 2 ] s graphite epoxy laminate with double-side notches. Experiments were performed on specimens loaded in uniaxial, quasi-static tension. The specimens were inspected at ascending load increments by x-radiography for patterns of matrix cracks caused by stress concentration near the notched region.
