Experimental study of the influence of ply orientation on DCB mode-I delamination behavior by using multidirectional fully isotropic carbon/epoxy laminates

The influence of ply orientation on the resistance to mode I delamination of multidirectional composite laminates can be assessed by Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) tests. However, one difficulty is to uncouple the global and local effects due to the stacking sequence, which is necessary for a conclusi...
