A detailed numerical analysis of the edge crack torsion test was performed to verify its adequacy for the mode iii interlaminar fracture characterization of composite laminates. a new data reduction scheme based on specimen compliance was proposed. three-dimen- sional ï¬ nite element analyses including a cohesive damage model were performed in order to evaluate the accuracy of perceived giiic values obtained wi...
