Abstract

This paper presented a novel method to characterize the fracture toughness and cohesive law of laminated composites under combined compression and shear at high loading rate. Compact compression specimens with off-axis fibres which introduce the in-plane shear stresses were conducted on the uniaxial bidirectional electromagnetic Hopkinson bar system and the displacement field and strain field were recorded by the high-speed camera for the digital image correlation analysis and J-integral calculation. The results reveal that the in-plane shear stresses bring the increase of fracture toughness at crack initiation and propagation and advance the damage initiation of the specimens. The fracture surfaces indicate that the shear stresses cause the fibre bundles' shear failure during the formation of the kink band, accompanied by more energy dissipation with the increase of off-axis angle.
