2. Characterization of thin laminate interface by using Double Cantilever Beam and End Notched Flexure tests
University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknikAbstract : This thesis is intended to identify the mode I and mode II fracture toughness to characterize the thin laminate interface by using the Double Cantilever Beam test (DCB) and End Notched Flexure test (ENF). This study’s thin laminate was Polyethylene Terephthalate and Low-Density Polyethylene (PET-LDPE), which is mostly used by packaging industries in the manufacturing of packages to store liquid food.

3. Numerical analysis of paperboard delamination using cohesive elements
University essay from KTH/HållfasthetsläraAbstract : A new test method for measuring the shear strength associated with mode III delamination of paperboard is studied with the purpose of reducing the size of the test configuration. The method, which uses a split cantilever beam (SCB) specimen, measures the shear strength indirectly through the fracture resistance. READ MORE
