Liu, Y. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)The mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness of composite laminates under different loading rates can be measured by the double cantilever beam (DCB) test. It is observed from the DCB test of a unidirectional PEEK/carbon composite laminate that as the loading rate increases from quasi-static to dynamic range: (1) delamination crack growth...journal article 2018

Liu, Y. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)In this paper, the thick-level-set method is used to model stable and unstable (stick/slip) crack propagation in the dynamic double cantilever beam (DCB) test for unidirectional composite laminates. The thick-level-set method uses a predefined damage profile to describe the fracture process zone and allows<br/>for accurate evaluation of the...conference paper 2017
