Study on mode-I fracture toughness of composite laminates with curved plies applied by automated fiber placement

Interlaminar fracture toughness is an important parameter to characterize the delamination performance of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy laminates. In this study, the mode-I fracture toughness of interlaminar interfaces with different local ply angles were studied by experiments and numerical simulat...
