Answer from Prof. Tay anb Dr. Ridha Muhammad to question during workshop lecture

Question from Armando Mete: “Could you please provide Elastic/Strength properties for AS4/3601-6, IM6/3501-6 used for the Abaqus Umat-MMF Examples? Could you please provide Fracture toughness and Cohesive Strenght (t, v) in this respect?”

Answer: “The elastic/strength properties of AS4/3501-6 are listed in the slides that we provided in the tutorial. Camanho et al presented properties of AS4/3501-6 interface in their paper titled "Fracture analysis of composite co-cured structural joints using decohesion elements" (Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures, Volume 27, Number 9, September 2004 , pp. 745-757(13)). The property values are:
GIc=0.075 N/mm
GIIc=0.547 N/mm
N= 61 MPa
S= 68 MPa
