摘要
This paper reports a study of the mixed mode II + III fracture of carbon/epoxy laminates. The specimens used were six-point bending plates with cross-ply lay-up and the standard 0/0 interface. Finite element analyses (FEA) were per-formed to select specimen geometries suitable for measuring the initiation critical strain energy release rate G(c) over a wide range of mode mix ratios. The main difficulties were the non-uniform distributions of G(II) and G(III) and the considerable geometric non-linearity. Nevertheless, experimental results suggested a quasi-linear evolution of G(c) with the G(III)/G mode mix ratio consistent with previously measured G(IIc) values and expected G(IIIc) > G(IIc).
