Abstract (EN):
This paper summarizes results from a series of tests performed in eighteen laboratories with three specific aims: first, to establish the reproducibility of values from mode I and mode II tests carried out on two materials in different laboratories; secondly to investigate the differences between two data analyses; and finally to examine the influence of specimen thickness on mode I and mode II values. The materials tested, both unidirectional, were a relatively brittle carbon-fibre/epoxy laminate and a thermoplastic composite, carbon fibre/PEEK.
