Fracture Testing for Fibre-Reinforced Composites Elsevier Series in Mechanics of Advanced Materials Series
Coordonnateurs : Catalanotti Giuseppe, Dalli Denis
Fracture Testing for Fibre-Reinforced Composites demonstrates how to implement the most effective experimental methodologies for measuring interlaminar and intralaminar damage propagation in order to characterize the corresponding fracture toughness parameters. The book presents a concise overview of the existing background theories of composites, including a full chapter on the fundamentals of fracture mechanics, followed by in-depth, step-by-step practical guidance for executing a variety of fracture toughness experimental tests.
Also included are optical and thermal data acquisition techniques, as well as relevant data reduction and uncertainty quantification methods to facilitate rapid and objective measurement of the material parameters when obtained for both quasi-static and dynamic loading regimes.

Denis Dalli completed his PhD in 2020 having performed an extensive study on the experimental and numerical aspects of composite crashworthiness modeling, in collaboration with McLaren Racing. He is currently researching the development of CNT-web based inserts for use in innovative welding techniques of thermoplastic composites. He was recently awarded a Horizon 2020 Widening Fellowship to move to the University of Porto for a 2-year project focusing on experimental and numerical developments towards carbon neutral composite crashworthiness. His scientific publications have focused on the development of novel experimental characterization techniques for carbon fibre composite materials, as well as composite crashworthiness.
