A Composite Rigid Double Cantilever Beam Specimen for Assessing the Traction–Separation Response of Mode I Delamination in Composite Laminates
(Springer, 2023-01-16)Background Interlaminar delamination is a common damage mechanism in composite laminates that can lead to structural failure. Assessment using contemporary numerical modeling techniques requires delamination behavior as ... -
A Novel Test Geometry for Characterization of Traction-Separation Behaviour in Composite Laminates Under Mode I Delamination
(Springer, 2021-04-16)The integration of composite laminates into automotive structures can provide weight reduction and improvement in occupant safety. However, the adoption of such materials requires characterization and efficient modeling ...
