A systematic investigation was carried out in this work to evaluate the effect of seawater
ageing on the mechanical properties of different composites manufactured with three types …

The composite structures have a tendency to delaminate which reduces the strength and
stiffness and thus limits the life of a structure. This behavior of composites has caused …

Resistance to delamination in composites can be enhanced by a variety of bridging
mechanisms. The bridging zone size is usually several times the lamina thickness, so it is …

The effect of the stress ratio on near-threshold growth of delamination fatigue cracks was
investigated with unidirectional laminates made from Ciba Geigy 914C prepegs (T300/914) …

For most practically important plane elasticity problems of orthotropic materials, stresses
depend on elastic constants through two nondimensional combinations. A spatial rescaling …

Composite materials often fail by delamination. As composite materials with tougher
matrices are developed to give better delamination resistance, their delamination behavior …

HTA/6376C composite has been investigated for influence of temperature and moisture
content on the interlaminar delamination toughness in mode I, mode II and mixed mode …

This report summarizes the results of several interlaboratory “round robin” test programs for
measuring the Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of advanced fiber-reinforced …
