Measurement of mixed-mode delamination fracture toughness of unidirectional glass/epoxy composites with mixed-mode bending apparatus

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the initiation of cracking and delamination growth in a unidirectional glass/epoxy composite under mode I, mode ZZ, and mixed mode I + II static loading.

Mixed-mode delamination fracture toughness of unidirectional glass/epoxy composites under fatigue loading

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical fatigue criterion is proposed to measure delamination fatigue-crack growth on unidirectional glass/epoxy laminates.

3-D Mixed Mode Delamination Fracture Criteria - An Experimentalist's Perspective

TL;DR: In this article, a new framework for visualizing 3D fracture criteria is introduced, based on assumptions that the relationship between mode I and mode III toughness is similar to the relation between mode II and mode II.

Postbuckling and growth of delaminations in composite plates subjected to axial compression

TL;DR: In this article, the postbuckling response and growth of circular delaminations in flat and curved plates are investigated as part of a study to identify the criticality of delamination locations through the laminate thickness.

Design and manufacturing considerations for ply drops in composite structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore various factors for the design of composite structures with ply drops, such as thickness variations, ply stacking sequences, ply drop geometries and manufacturing considerations.
