Determination of the mode I delamination fracture toughness of multidirectional composite laminates /

The objective of this study is to develop and verify a theoretically-based method for characterizing mode I delamination fracture of composite laminates. Attention focuses on the special problems associated with delamination of composites with multidirectional (as opposed to unidirectional) layups....
