On the R-curve and cohesive law of glass/epoxy end-notch flexure specimens with 0//θ interface fiber angles

In the current paper, the effects of interface fiber angles on the characteristics of R-curve and the cohesive law shape of end-notch-flexure specimens are investigated using numerical and empirical methods. To this aim, laminated composites manufactured by E-glass/epoxy with 0//θ interface where θ ...
