Mixed-Mode I/II Testing of Composite Materials—A Refined Data Reduction Scheme for the Wedge-Loaded Asymmetric Double Cantilever Beam Test

The wedge-loaded asymmetric double cantilever beam (WADCB) test is an experimental method to determine the mixed-mode I/II fracture toughness of composite materials by inserting a wedge into the specimen along a potential delamination path. Whilst the current closed-form solution for the ADCB test a...
