Evaluation of Mode I Interlaminar Fracture Toughness for Carbon Fabric/Epoxy Composite

In this study, mode I interlaminar fracture phenomena of carbon fabric/epoxy composite for tilting train were investigated. Specimens were 25mm $\times$ 180mm $\times$ 4.7mm with an initial artificial delamination of 65mm at one end. This delamination with the thickness of 12.5$\mu$m and 25$\mu$m (teflon film) was used. Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness was measured using the double cantilever beam and the fractured surfaces were examined through a scanning electron microscope. The experimental results obtained in this study would be applicable in the design and structural analysis of the composite structures.
