Abstract

A modified Transverse Crack Tension (mTCT) test method previously proposed for the characterization of Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness in monolithic laminates is extended to the case of hybrid laminates. Variations in specimen geometry and materials are investigated numerically to derive an optimum geometry and explore the range of applicability.
