Characterization of rate effects on Mode-I Double-Cantilevered Beam tests through finite element modeling
Tests of Mode-I delamination in Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) specimens were modeled with the finite element solver, LS-DYNA, to simulate the behavior of composite materials at high speed loading rates (between 2 in/s and 100 in/s). Cohesive elements were used to model the crack growth behavior. The...
