Application of the effective crack method to mode I and mode II interlaminar fracture of carbon/epoxy unidirectional laminates

This paper describes an experimental study involving double cantilever beam (DCB), end-notched flexure (ENF) and 4-point end-notched flexure (4ENF) tests on carbon/epoxy unidirectional specimens. The main purpose was to evaluate the so-called effective crack method (ECM), which avoids operator crack...
