The interlaminar and intralaminar fracture of laminated composites under mode i loading was studied using the double cantilever beam test. the effect of bridging on the measured fracture energy was assessed by cutting fibres during crack propagation. the fracture energy was evaluated considering a pre-viously developed data reduction scheme based on the beam theory and crack equivalent concept. the model only r...
This work presents a two-dimensional numerical analysis to assess the influence of several geometric changes on the tensile residual strength of repaired CFRP composite plates. The model was validated by comparison with previously published experimental results. Single- and double-lap repair techniques were evaluated. The geometric changes include chamfering the patch outer face, thickening the adhesive near th...
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...

An experimental and numerical study is presented concerning the fracture behaviour of scaled specimens of wood beams repaired with a carbon–epoxy patch under four-point bending.In this work,a numerical technique is proposed to simulate the fracture behaviour of these repairs,which includes the possibility of cohesive failure in the adhesive layer,failure with in the wood beam in different planes,and inter...

An experimental and numerical study concerning the tensile behaviour of adhesively-bonded carbon-epoxy scarf repairs is presented, using scarf angles ranging from 2° to 45°. A mixed-mode cohesive damage model adequate for ductile adhesives was used to simulate the adhesive layer. The cohesive laws of the adhesive layer, composite interlaminar and composite intralaminar (in the transverse and fibre directions) i...
