Experimental Characterization and Cohesive Laws for Delamination of Off-Axis GFRP Laminates

Research output: Contribution to book/anthology/report/conference proceedingArticle in proceedingResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This work experimentally characterizes mixed mode delamination in glass fibre reinforced polymer laminates taking into account the influence of the off-axis angle between the lamina orientation and the crack growth direction on the fracture properties. Thus, providing a cohesive law that enables analysis of 3D models in which mixed mode crack growth within laminates having anisotropic fracture properties takes place.
