FEA simulation and experimental validation of mode I and II delamination at the carbon/glass/epoxy hybrid interface: Physical-based interpretation

The aim of this study was to carry out simulations and perform experimental quasi-static delamination tests in modes I and II to characterize the mechanical behavior at a hybrid interface. For that purpose, contact angle, infrared spectroscopy, and energy balance model results were obtained to characterize the physical interfacial energy behavior. The simulations and experimental tests presented similar values and trends, indicating that this is...
