A New Method to Characterize Delamination Resistance of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) under Transverse Loading

摘要

A new method to characterize interlaminar fracture toughness of FRP under transverse loading is presented. The results showed good correlation between results from the plate test and those from the beam test. The results also suggest that the dominant delamination mode for the GFRP is most likely to be Mode II.
