Environmental effects on mode II fracture toughness of unidirectional E-glass/vinyl ester laminated composites

In this article, mode II fracture toughness (GIIc{G}_{\text{IIc}}) of unidirectional E-glass/vinyl ester composites subjected to sulfuric acid aging is studied at two different temperatures (25 and 90°C). Specimens were manufactured using the hand lay-up method with the [0]20{{[}0]}_{20} stacking se...
