  • The fracture toughness of medium density fiberboard and other fiber bridging composites

    Creator:
    Matsumoto, Noah T.
    Abstract:
    In many composites, fiber bridging develops as part of the fracture process. Fiber bridging invalidates many toughness evaluation methods such as the ASTM E399 and complicates the identification of crack length, which is a necessary parameter in energy methods. In order to measure the toughness of fiber bridging composites, an...
