Abstract

The mode II delamination fracture toughness (G IIC ) for interleaved and non-interleaved CFRP were measured at loading rates ranging from 0.2 to 125 mm/min. It was observed that interleaving could enhance G IIC for CFRP significantly. Furthermore, G IIC was observed to be independent of the loading rate for the non-interleaved CFRP. For the interleaved CFRP, the loading rate has a strong influence on G IIC , and the loading rate dependence can be explained in terms of the fracture surface morphologies.
