Extending the Modified Transverse Crack Tensile test for Mode II Fracture Toughness Characterisation of Hybrid Interfaces (2024)
Journal Article
Scalici, T., Dalli, D., Ullah, Z., & Catalanotti, G. (online). Extending the Modified Transverse Crack Tensile test for Mode II Fracture Toughness Characterisation of Hybrid Interfaces. Composites Part B: Engineering, Article 112063. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compositesb.2024.112063

Measuring mode II fracture toughness at a dissimilar interface using the Transverse Crack Tensile may be challenging, particularly if geometric and elastic symmetry conditions are not maintained during crack propagation. Building on previous results,... Read More about Extending the Modified Transverse Crack Tensile test for Mode II Fracture Toughness Characterisation of Hybrid Interfaces.
