For the purpose of estimating the bond strength between fiber and matrix resin in CFRP, the T-Peel test method has been developed by us. This test is extremely easy compared with DCB and WTDCB tests. It is clarified that there is a correlation between the peel strength and fracture energy and the T-Peel test can be used as a screen test for the fracture toughness and bond property of the CFRP.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
