Investigation into the role of strength and toughness in composite materials with an angled incident crack

Creator:

Grimm, Brian A.

Abstract:

Understanding the mechanical behavior of composite materials requires extensive knowledge of fracture behavior as a crack approaches an interface between the bulk material and the reinforcement structure. Overall material toughness can be greatly influenced by the propensity of an impinging crack to propagate directly through the substrate or deflect along...
