Dynamic Mixed-Mode Fracture of Bonded Composite Joints for Automotive Crashworthiness

An experimental evaluation of the mixed-mode fracture behavior of bonded composite joints is presented. Commonly used experimental techniques for characterizing the mode I, mixed-mode I/II, mode II, and mode III fracture behavior have been employed for the purpose of developing a fracture envelope...
