Effect of tensile properties mismatch on fracture driving force in sandwich plates using notched specimens

This paper studies the effect of tensile properties mismatch on fracture driving force in sandwich plates using Double Edge Notched Tension (DENT) specimens. Notched specimens are used due to the difficulty in fatigue pre-cracking small sized specimens of sandwich plates. Two sandwich plates, SP1 an...
