Experimental data set for: A crack growth rate model with load history effects for mode I fatigue-driven delamination under multi-level block loading

This data repository includes the experimental data from multi-level block loading tests presented in the paper: "A crack growth rate model with load history effects for mode I fatigue-driven delamination under multi-level block loading" as published in International Journal of Fatigue by the same authors. Fatigue experiments are conducted on glass/epoxy double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens subjected to pure bending moments in mode I crack opening. The specimens are subjected to variable amplitude (VA) block loading, i.e. a block loading spectrum that consists of multiple constant amplitude (CA) load blocks with different amplitude and mean values. The fatigue experiments are conducted with real-time control of the applied energy release rate (ERR). Two repetitions of the multi-level block loading experiment is provided here.
