Composite laminate has extensive usage in the aerospace and automotive industries. Thus
delamination, one of its most prevalent and challenging failure modes, has attracted …

Interlaminar fracture toughness had been the subject of great interest for several years and
is still interesting to the research community. In this article, a comprehensive analysis of …

Composite materials are often subjected to mechanical impact causing delamination. For
quasi-static loading, measuring the mode I fracture toughness has been standardized …

Composite materials are known for their high stiffness and strength at lower weight as
compared to conventional structural materials. Recently, there has been a growing interest …

Given the current lack of research data on the delamination behavior of spread-tow woven
composites, this study aims to systematically characterize the mode-I interlaminar fracture …

This work presents a new approach for determining the fracture toughness and bridging law
of asymmetric double cantilever beam (ADCB). A key advantage of this method is that it …

In this study, the influence of a novel intumescent flame retardant (IFR) on the mode I
interlaminar fracture toughness and flame retardant properties of continuous glass fibre …

This research studies the displacement rate effects on the mode I delamination of
unidirectional carbon/epoxy composites. Double cantilever beam test is conducted at 1, 10 …

In this study, double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen was employed to take into account
the effects of mat layer at delamination interface on mode I fracture toughness of woven …
