Fracture toughness of a carbon fibre-epoxy composite material

Testing has been undertaken to study the applicability of linear elastic fracture mechanics to a carbon fibre-epoxy laminate system. Hercules AS/3501-6 carbon fibre-epoxy prepreg was used to produce laminates which were subsequently cut into specimens of various geometries, sizes, and thicknesses. P...
