The Failure of Fiber Composites and Adhesively Bonded Fiber Composites Under High-Rates of Test .2. Mode-I Loading - Dynamic Effects
The dynamic effects which are commonly encountered during high-rate DCB tests with fibre composite and adhesively bonded fibre composite arms have been studied in detail. This paper, Part II of the series, follows Part I, which described the experimental aspects of the high-rate testing. Part III will report the results from mode II and mixed-mode I/II tests on the fibre-composite materials.
