The traditional single-leg bending (SLB) specimen is modified by introducing the load eccentrically between the two supports of a three-point bending setup. The modified configuration is analyzed by using linear beam theories. The theories of transverse shear, Winkler-Pasternak- type elastic foundation, Saint-Venant effect, and crack tip shear deformation are incorporated in the analysis. Also, experiments are carried out on glass/polyester unidirectional specimens. Comparison between the results of analysis and experiment shows very good agreement. The traditional SLB and the novel OLB coupons are compared, and their advantages and drawbacks are highlighted. The newly developed OLB setup is relatively easier to perform and crack propagation may be simply investigated under displacement control.}, year = {2007}, eissn = {1530-7921}, pages = {5-33}, orcid-numbers = {Szekrényes, András/0000-0002-2018-4471} } @article{MTMT:2635067, title = {Comparison of some improved solutions for mixed-mode composite delamination coupons}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2635067}, author = {Szekrényes, András and Uj, József}, doi = {10.1016/j.compstruct.2005.01.002}, journal-iso = {COMPOS STRUCT}, journal = {COMPOSITE STRUCTURES}, volume = {72}, unique-id = {2635067}, issn = {0263-8223}, abstract = {Four different solutions for the energy release rate of orthotropic, beam-like fracture specimens were compared in the present work. Two beam theory-based approaches were utilized. The current authors developed one of them, the other one was previously published in the literature. A model based on refined plate theory was also considered. Finally equations based on a numerical calibration technique were utilized as a fourth solution. These solutions were extended for the case of composite double-cantilever beam, end-loaded split, single-leg bending and mixed-mode bending fracture specimens. Comparison between the different solutions shows somewhat distinct results, especially for the mode ratio. There are some explanations for the experienced discrepancies between the mentioned solutions. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

New compliance and strain energy release rate equations are developed incorporating crack tip deformation and transverse shear analysis. The Saint Venant effect at the clamped end of the ELS specimen is also considered. Unidirectional glass-polyester specimens are manufactured and experimental (initiation and propagation) tests are performed to confirm the theoretical models. The experimental data is evaluated by means of four reduction techniques: the exact beam theory, virtual crack closure technique, compliance calibration method, and direct beam theory. It is shown that the results by the four methods agree quite closely; however, the compliance calibration method is not recommended for initiation data reduction in the case of the ONF specimen. The ELS specimens suffer from relatively large displacements. Thus, propagation tests are not possible to be performed. The ONF test seems to be a better tool to evaluate the mode-II toughness of composite materials with low flexural modulus.}, year = {2005}, eissn = {1530-793X}, pages = {1747-1768}, orcid-numbers = {Szekrényes, András/0000-0002-2018-4471} } @article{MTMT:2635064, title = {Beam and finite element analysis of quasi-unidirectional composite SLB and ELS specimens}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2635064}, author = {Szekrényes, András and Uj, József}, doi = {10.1016/j.compscitech.2004.05.002}, journal-iso = {COMPOS SCI TECHNOL}, journal = {COMPOSITES SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY}, volume = {64}, unique-id = {2635064}, issn = {0266-3538}, abstract = {The mixed-mode I/II delamination problem in composite specimens was investigated using closed-from solutions, the finite element technique and experiments.

The mixed-mode I/II SLB and ELS specimen configurations were used in order to obtain compliance and fracture energy predictions. Linear beam theories incorporating transverse shear and elastic foundation effects were utilized to calculate the displacements of both the SLB and ELS specimens. The compliance and fracture energy was calculated as the superposition of the various contributions. Plane stress finite element models including some accompanying effects were constructed.
