Abstract
null null In this work, the influence of ply thickness on strain energy release rate (ERR) in delamination of carbon-epoxy laminates is addressed. Specimens with three ply thicknesses: 0.030, 0.075 and 0.150 mm are tested. While the ERR at onset of crack propagation is independent of ply thickness, the plateau level is much lower in thin-ply laminates than in thicker ply ones. This effect is attributed to changes in microstructure, caused by the...
