Study of the influence of the type of matrix used in carbon-epoxy composites on fatigue delamination under mode III fracture

The fatigue delamination process of three different aeronautical quality composites subject to mode III fracture loading is studied experimentally in this paper with the aim of analysing the effect of the type of matrix used under this fatigue fracture mode. In all cases, the main difference between the composite materials considered in this study is the type of epoxy resin used as the matrix. The test method used to produce the delamination...
