A combined experimental-numerical investigation of crack growth in a carbon-carbon composite is reported. In this material, both matrix fracture and fibre bridging contribute significantly to toughness. Crack growth experiments were performed using side-notched DCB specimens with doublers. A digital image correlation method was used to measure displacements fields on the specimen surfaces, crack extension and crack opening profiles. An effective cohesive zone law was determined from the experimental data. The effective cohesive zone law is subsequently separated into the individual contributions from matrix cracking and fibre bridging. Numerical simulation of crack growth based on this cohesive zone law and experimental data are in good agreement. Special focus of the numerical study is on the investigation of the discontinuous nature of crack growth.
