Abstract The experiments have been completed under static tensile loading for different notched composite laminates. The strain gauges have been utilized to measure the change of strains in the different position of the specimen. The residual intensity of the laminate with the notch damage was measured. The effect of damage length and angle on the residual intensity of the laminate was discussed. The finite element models were set up to analyze the failure behavior of notched laminates under tensile load and determine the relation between the residual intensity and notch damage state. All prediction results have reasonably good correlation with the test results.
