AB - Aircraft structures are susceptible to delamination from forward facing High Velocity Impact (HVI) in all regimes during service. Advanced composite fibres, such as Vectran could improve HVI performance on aircraft structures, hence creating a safer air travel environment. Vectran fibre are considerably tougher compared to Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP). In this study, the interlaminar fracture toughness GIC of Vectran/Epoxy laminates is investigated from a Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) test, and compared to monolithic CFRP (T800s/M21). It was found that the interlaminar fracture toughness for Vectran/Epoxy material is significantly higher than that of T800s/M21 (GIC,Vectran ≈ 1.5 kJ/m2; GIC,T800s ≈ 0.246 kJ/m2).
