A Modified Compact Tension Test for Characterization of the Intralaminar Fracture Toughness of Tri-Axial Braided Composites

The application of braided composite materials in the automotive industry requires an in-depth understanding of the mechanical properties. To date, the intralaminar fracture toughness of braided composite materials, typically used for describing post-failure behavior, has not been well-characterized...
