Influence of intralaminar cracking on the apparent interlaminar mode I fracture toughness of cross-ply laminates

One of the major difficulties in interlaminar fracture tests of multidirectional laminates is the high tendency for intralaminar cracking and the resulting wavy crack propagation. Experimental work showed that this occurred in double cantilever beam (DCB) tests of cross-ply laminates having a starte...
