Numerical analysis of the Edge Crack Torsion test for mode III interlaminar fracture of composite laminates

A detailed numerical analysis of the Edge Crack Torsion test was performed to verify its adequacy for the mode III interlaminar fracture characterization of composite laminates. A new data reduction scheme based on specimen compliance was proposed. Three-dimensional finite element analyses including...
