The critical energy release rate in normal loading direction obtained from standard double cantilever beam test is used as input data in finite element simulations, in which the failure process is modeled by using cohesive zone material.

This was a subtask of a project funded by the National Research, Development and Innovation Fund (NKFIH), Project title: “Production of polymer products by a short cycle time, automatized production technology for automotive applications, with exceptional focus on the complexity and recyclability of the composite parts”; The application ID number: NVKP_16-1-2016-0046.
