Delamination behaviour of carbon fibre/epoxy composite laminates with short fibre reinforcement

The delamination of laminated materials is a major mode of damage and failure in application. A study was undertaken to determine if the fracture toughness of these materials could be improved by using chopped Kevlar fibers (Kevlar 49) as interlaminar reinforcement in the center layer of composite l...
