摘要：
Delamination is a concern for the structural integrity of fiber-reinforced polymer composite structures. The decisive material parameter for delamination is fracture toughness (GIc). The main objective of this study was to investigate the in-plane, quasi-static fracture toughness (both initiation and propagation) of two laminate composites. Both composites contain carbon fibers in an epoxy matrix. The tests were performed using double cantilever beam specimens with different ply orientations according to ASTM standards. The effect of ply orientation was evaluated using data reduction methods to obtain fracture toughness. The experiments revealed that the ply sequence changed the crack propagation mechanism, increasing the initiation and propagation fracture toughness values for 90/90 layup during mode I interlaminar tests, by 80% and 69%, respectively. In addition, the mode I fracture toughness increased by 40% after 50 mm crack extension. © 2024 Begell House Inc.. All rights reserved.
