Workshop: Mode II Interlaminar Fracture Toughness and the Factors affecting it
Professors Michael Wisnom of Bristol Composites Institute, Yentl Swolfs of KU Leuven and Federico Paris of the University of Seville hosted an online workshop on Composites Fracture on 13th May.
“Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness and the factors affecting it” was discussed at the event which is the third part of a series on fracture following on from the first event Is fracture toughness applicable as a material property for composites? and the second one on “Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness and the factors affecting it”
The workshop comprised a topic presentation by Michael Wisnom (Mode II overview (PDF, 576kB)), followed by a series of short presentations and further discussion with people from across the globe participating.
For those who could not attend or would like to rewatch the content, a recording of the workshop is available to watch on the Bristol Composites Institutes YouTube channel. The PowerPoint presentations and the paper summarising the topic are available for download via the links below.
