Abstract
This paper presents an experimental and numerical comparison of stable and unstable crack propagation techniques used to measure the mode I intralaminar fracture toughness of 2D woven carbon fibre composites. Compact Tension (CT) and Double Edge Notch Tension (DENT) specimens are used for the stable and unstable experimental tests, respectively. The precrack tip radius sensitivity of the scaled DENT specimens is investigated, concluding that the...
