Refinements to the Mixed-Mode Bending Test for Delamination Toughness
نویسنده
چکیده
The mixed-mode bending (MMB) test for delamination toughness was first introduced in 1988. This simple test is a combination of the standard Mode I (opening) test and a Mode II (sliding) test. This MMB test has become widely used in the United States and around the world for mixed-mode toughness measurements. Because of the widespread use of this test method, it is being considered for standardization by ASTM Committee D30. This paper discusses several improvements to the original test method. The improvements to the MMB test procedure include an improved method for calculating toughness from the measured test quantities, a more accurate way of setting the mixed-mode ratio to be tested, and the inclusion of a new alignment criterion for improved consistency in measured values.

The Use of Doublers in Delamination Toughness Testing
In this paper, the data reduction equations for common delamination toughness tests are rederived for use with specimens which have bonded doublers. The common toughness tests considered here are the double cantilever beam (DCB) for mode I toughness; the end notch flexure (3ENF) and 4 point ENF (4ENF) for mode II toughness; and the mixed mode bending (MMB) test for testing under combined mode I...
متن کاملMixed-Mode Bending Method for Delamination Testing
A mixed—mode delamination test procedure was developed combining double cantilever beam (DCB) mode I loading and end-notch fixture (ENF) mode II loading on a split unidirectional laminate. By loading with a lever, a single applied load simultaneously produces mode I and mode II bending loads on the specimen. This mixed-mode bending (MMB) test was analyzed using both finite-element procedures an...

متن کاملIn-situ characterization of interface delamination by a new miniature mixed-mode bending setup
The demands by the semiconductors industry for high levels of integration, lower costs and a growing need for complete system solutions has led to the emergence of ”System In Package” (SIP) solutions in which ”the package is the system”. Since SIP-microsystems have multiple thin and stacked layers manufactured using different processes and materials, internal (intrinsic and/or thermal) mismatch...
متن کاملMixed-mode I/II Interlaminar Fracture of CF/PEI Composite Material
Failures in composite materials occur mainly due to interlaminar fracture, also called delamination, between laminates. This indicates that characterizing interlaminar fracture toughness is the most effective factor in the fracture of composite materials. This study reports investigation on mixed-mode interlaminar fracture behaviour in woven carbon fibre/polyetherimide (CF/PEI) thermoplastic co...
