Abstract
This experimental study reports effect of tuft geometry i.e., standard tufts and loops milled-down, and tufting pattern on Mode I interlaminar fracture in a GFRP. Standard tufting geometry is responsible for an increase in fracture resistance by 3.5–6 times than the neat composite, depending on the areal pattern. Based on 5 mm squared tufting pattern on DCB specimens with a full-length release film at laminate mid-plane and non-tufted ones, the...
