Delamination is the common failures of composite material attributed to various reasons, most importantly the potential stiffness degradation leading to small flaws and subsequently theypropagate, and it becomes essential to characterize the new materials for interlaminar fracture. For the present study Carbon /epoxy system of IM7/8552 was investigated under mode I and mode II loading. Material was formed into unidirectional laminates with Teflon inserts at its mid length. The specimens were machined according to ASTM standards, Tests were executed on a quasi-static Intron 8225, with load control at 5 mm/ min and 2 m/min for the mode -I and mode-II respectively. The strain energy release rate was found to be GIC=0.266 kJ/m2 and GIIC=0.687 kJ/m2 . Fiberbridging was prominently absent in the DCB samples Examination of the fracture surface by SEM at SAIF, in IIT{M) and the nature of the fracture surface revealed the typical failure mechanism pertaining to mode-I and mode-II failuremechanisms

Fracture behavior via a flexural test for a newly found CaO–Al2O3–SiO2 (CAS) glass-ceramic (GC) was compared with that of enstatite GC and mica GC, which are well-known GCs with high-fracture toughness and machinability, respectively. By focusing on the nonelastic load–displacement curves, CAS GC was characterized as a less brittle material similar to machinable mica GC, compared with enstatite GC, which showed higher fracture toughness, KIC. The microcrack toughening mechanism in CAS GC was supported by the nondestructive observation of microcracks around the Vickers indentation using the X-ray microcomputed tomography technique. The CAS GC also showed higher transparency than mica GC due to its low crystallinity. Moreover, the precursor glass had easy formability due to its low-liquidus temperature.
