A study of mixed mode interlaminar fracture on nanoclay enhanced epoxy/glass fiber composites

Fiber reinforced laminate are widely used in aerospace, automobile and marine industries, despite its poor interlaminar fracture toughness (IFT), as consequence of the absence of fibers to sustain transverse load. One way recently explored with relative success in order to improve IFT is the use of...
