A note on fracture criteria for interface fracture

  • Published:
International Journal of Fracture Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Several criteria for interface fracture are examined and compared to test results obtained from glass/epoxy specimens. These include two energy release rate criteria, a critical hoop stress criterion and a critical shear stress criterion. In addition, approximate plastic zone size and shape within the epoxy are determined for these tests.
