About this document
Mixed Mode I/II Fracture Toughness of Epoxy by Nithian Vejayan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes an experimental study that investigated the fracture behavior of epoxy resin under mixed mode I/II loading conditions. Specifically, it conducted asymmetric three-point bending and four-point bending tests on pre-cracked epoxy resin specimens to obtain fracture loci and crack initiation directions over a range of mode mixities. It also examined four common fracture criteria and compared them to the experimental results. The study found that the relaxation effect on fracture toughness
