Effects of Starter Defect on Energy Release Rate of Three-Point End-Notch Flexure Tested Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite

The mechanics of damage and fracture process in unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites subjected to shear loading (Mode II) were examined using the experimental method of the three-point end-notch flexure (3ENF) test. The CFRP composite consists of [0<sup>o</sup>...
