Mixed Bending-Tension (MBT) test for mode I interlaminar and intralaminar fracture

A new Mixed Bending-Tension (MBT) test is proposed for mode I fracture of laminated composites. The MBT specimen consists of a relatively small pre-cracked laminate adhesively bonded to pin-loaded steel beams. This design reduces significantly the bending stresses that prevent successful application...
