Mechanically, composite laminates perform exceptionally well in-plane but poorly out-of-plane. Interlaminar damage, known as "delamination," is a major issue for composite laminates. Results from Mode-I and Mode-II experimental testing on twill-woven carbon fiber reinforced (CFRP) laminates are analyzed in this paper. Composite Mode-I fracture toughness was determined using three different methods in accordance with ASTM D5528: modified beam theory, compliance calibration, and a codified compliance calibration. Two methods, the Compliance Calibration Method and the Compliance-Based Beam Method, were used to determine the Mode-II fracture toughness in accordance with ASTM D7905. Stick-slip behavior is quite evident in the composite's ModeI fracture toughness test findings. The MBT technique's 𝐺Ic values for initiation and propagation are 0.533 and 0.679 KJ/m2 , respectively. When comparing the MBT approach to the industry-standard ASTM procedure for determining fracture toughness Mode-I, the MBT method was shown to be highly compatible. Furthermore, the 𝐺IIc values for the CBBM technique are 1.65 KJ/m2 for non-pre cracked and 1.4 KJ/m2 for pre-cracked materials. The CBBM method shows a good method to evaluate fracture toughness Mode-II, due to not needing to monitor the length of the crack during delamination growth to get the value of the fracture toughness.

A numerical study using the ANSYS 19.R3 environment is discussed in this research. This environment depends on the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT) method to test a double cantilever beam (DCB) according to the ASTM D5528 standard. Four kinds of laminate stacking sequences were considered. According to the results, the distribution of the strain energy release rates obtained along the delamination front in bending-extension and extension-twisting coupling had a good affinity with bending-extension coupling. At the same time, critical fracture toughness values were estimated to be around 87.9% of critical fracture toughness values bending-extension coupling. These results are proof of the bending-extension and extensiontwisting coupling success while testing the proximity to bending-extension coupling results of the DCB beam. These findings are compatible with the standard ASTM D5288. Therefore, the bending-extension and extension-twisting coupling provide a good indication of the delamination resistance during buckling tests of the composite.

In the present investigation, the fatigue life detection of composite material by adding copper particle of about than 25 μm diameter with 5, 10, 15 % volume fraction, as a reinforcements into the unsaturated polyester polymer composite material on fatigue life detection of composite material were studied experimentally and numerically. Composites were made using hand lay-up technique and evaluated for mechanical and fatigue properties in accordance with ASTM standards. The experimental results of the tensile test showed that adding 15% of copper particle in unsaturated polyester gives maximum ultimate tensile stress. Fatigue tests including test rod specimens made of composite materials under completely reversed cyclic loading in a rotating cantilever reversed bending machine. It is found that, the fatigue life and fatigue strength increase with increasing in the copper percentage volume fraction in unsaturated polyester resin compared with pure polyester composites. The experimental work was compared with numerical work, which was done by using ANSYS/19 and good agreement has been found. The maximum overall difference between the experimental and numerical work was around 9 %.
