A new fibre bridging based analysis of the Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) test

A new analysis was developed for the Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) test. Its main objective is to compute mode I critical strain energy release rates GIc unaffected by fibre bridging. In fact, the latter phenomenon often observed in standard unidirectional specimens is not considered representative o...
