Open Source software is widely used from end-users, software engineers and researchers. The license that accompanies such software is very important for its further use and distribution. However, engineers and researchers are many times not able to choose the appropriate license based on the purpose of the product under development due to the lack of sufficient information on the specifics of each...
This paper addresses the effect of temperature on the mixed-mode interlaminar fracture toughness and fatigue delamination growth rate of a carbon-fibre/epoxy material, namely IM7/8552. Quasi-static and fatigue characterisation tests were carried out at −50°C, 20°C, 50°C and 80°C, using asymmetric cut-ply coupons. The experimental results show that temperature may have an accelerating or delaying effect...
The characterisation of mixed-mode fracture toughness and fatigue delamination growth in fibre-reinforced composites is crucial for assessing the integrity of structural elements in service. An asymmetric cut-ply coupon (ACP) loaded in four-point bending is here proposed to carry out the aforementioned characterisations. Analytical expressions of the energy release rate and mode-mixity for the ACP...
