Mode III interlaminar fracture of carbon/epoxy laminates using a four-point bending plate test

A new four-point bending plate (4PBP) test was used for characterising the mode III interlaminar fracture of carbon/epoxy laminates. The specimen has a cross-ply lay-up and two edge delaminations whose propagation becomes visible at the edges. Although the test setup is very simple, determination of...
