Experimental Investigation of Delamination in Composite Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Laminates with Elastic Couplings

This paper presents an experimental evaluation of influence of the elastic couplings on the fracture toughness as well as on delamination initiation and propagation in carbon/epoxy composite laminates. For this purpose the mode I double cantilever beam (DCB) tests according to the American Society f...
