Fracture Energy Estimation of DCB Specimens Made of Glass/Epoxy: An Experimental Study

This paper examines critical load and corresponding displacement of double cantilever beam (DCB) composite specimens made of glass/epoxy of three different layups. Experiments were conducted on these laminates, and the fracture energy, GIc, was evaluated considering the root rotation at the crack ti...
