Specimen for cyclic delamination crack growth rates from ply-drops

  • 1. Technical University of Denmark

Description

The cyclic growth rate of delaminations initiated from ply-drops under tensile cyclic
load was experimentally measured using a test specimen geometry, with internal ply-drops, that
allows stable crack growth. It is found that the fatigue delaminations grow at a constant rate.
