The effect of plasticity to interlaminar fracture toughness of adhesive bond of composite V Pavelko, K Lapsa and P Pavlovskis Abstract.Composite material has been growing rapidly throughout the year for its unique properties in comparisons with metal. Recently, there has been a growth on studying the way to reduce the delamination failure, which is the primary challenge on laminated fibre composite. This failure can degrade the strength of composite materials, hence loses its function. In this review, database search was performed using the keywords search on "interlaminar fracture toughness", "double cantilever beam", "delamination resistance" and "Mode-I G IC ". The searches were performed on Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science with further crossreferencing with other databases. Most relevant studies were selected for review and referencing by the author. This review paper gives a brief explanation on Mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness of composite material. This fracture mode is the most common modes on studying the delamination failure.
