Flax Composites With Improved Interfacial Strength Through Microbially Induced Mineral Precipitation. [PDF]
Adv MaterA bio‐inspired biomineralization strategy introduces an additional hierarchy to flax fiber composites. By controlling microbe‐mediated mineral particle deposition through tuned salt concentrations, stress transfer within the natural fiber composite is enhanced.

Fracture Behaviors of CFRP Laminates in Mode I Interlaminar Fracture Toughness Testing.
TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series A, 1997 Fracture behaviours in mode I delamination tests of CFRP(T300/2500)were studied at cross-head velocity V=0.005∼200 mm/min. In low velocity region, serrations due to repeated unstable fracture appear on load P-displacement δ curve, and they become conspicuous as V becomes smaller.

The influence of hydrostatic pressure on the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon/epoxy composites [PDF]
, 2006 The use of composites for deep sea applications requires a thorough understanding of the behaviour of these materials. While several studies have examined the influence of pressure on in-plane properties few data are available for the interlaminar ...

Finite element modelling of mode I delamination specimens by means of implicit and explicit solvers [PDF]
, 2012 The simulation of delamination using the Finite Element Method (FEM) is a useful tool to analyse fracture mechanics. In this paper, simulations are performed by means of two different fracture mechanics models: Two Step Extension (TSEM) and Cohesive Zone
