Interlaminar Fracture

Powder epoxy composites have several advantages for the processing of large composite structures, including low exotherm, viscosity and material cost, as well as the ability to carry out separate melting and curing operations. This work studies the mode I and mixed-mode toughness, as well as the in-plane mechanical properties of unidirectional stitched glass and carbon fibre reinforced powder epoxy composites. The interlaminar fracture toughness is studied in pure mode I by performing Double Cantilever Beam tests and at 25% mode II, 50% mode II and 75% mode II by performing Mixed Mode Bending testing according to the ASTM D5528-13 test standard. The tensile and compressive properties are comparable to that of standard epoxy composites but both the mode I and mixed-mode toughness are shown to be significantly higher than that of other epoxy composites, even when comparing to toughened epoxies. The mixed-mode critical strain energy release rate as a function of the delamination mode ratio is also provided. This paper highlights the potential for powder epoxy composites in the manufacturing of structures where there is a risk of delamination.

This paper experimentally investigates the effects of low temperature on fracture toughness and fatigue debond growth rate in foam core sandwich composites. Mixed-mode bending specimens were statically and cyclically tested inside a climatic chamber at a low temperature (−20°C) and at room temperature (23°C) as a reference. Testing was conducted in mode I (opening) and mixed-mode I/II (opening-sliding) mode mixities. The fatigue tests results are presented according to the modified Paris–Erdogan relation. Results showed substantial fracture toughness reduction due to low temperature. Low temperature furthermore elevated the cyclic crack growth rate.

This paper evaluated mixed mode I/II fracture toughness of fiber-reinforced concrete using cracked semi-circular bend (SCB) specimens subjected to three-point bending test. Additionally, a comparison was made between the experimental results and the estimations made by different theoretical criteria. Natural and synthetic fibers at various concentrations were used in this study. After producing cracks in SCB specimens at different inclination angles to induce different mixed mode loading conditions (from pure mode I to II), the fracture toughness of SCB specimens was determined. Furthermore, the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength of natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced concrete were measured after 7 and 28 days of curing. While there is an increase in the aforementioned strengths with fiber content increase, 0.3% was found to be the optimum percentage regarding fracture toughness for both fibers. Also, the comparison between the experimental and theoretical results showed that generalized maximum tangential stress criterion estimated the experimental data satisfactorily.
