Crack Deflection in Composite Materials by sacha.cavelier is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper investigates the factors influencing crack deflection and penetration at interfaces in composite materials, emphasizing the roles of toughness and cohesive strength. Using a cohesive-zone model, the study finds that crack deflection can occur regardless of interface toughness if the interface strength is sufficiently low compared to the substrate strength. Additionally, it establishes that there is a lower bound for the substrate strength relative to interfacial strength, below which crack penetr
