Mode-I Metal-Composite Interface Fracture Testing for Fibre Metal Laminates
Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2018 The main contribution of the present paper is the determination of the mode-I fracture of metal-composite interface region for fibre metal laminates (FMLs). A hybrid DCB configuration is proposed to investigate the mode-I fracture between metal-composite

A study of repeated impact loading on a symmetrical carbon fibre laminate [PDF]
, 2007 The behaviour of a symmetric laminate under repeated low energy hits of a 12.1mm hemispheric impactor was evaluated. The laminate was able to endure 20 collisions with the striker before perforation. The rate of damage progression was characterised by an
