In this work, the crack growth behavior of carbon fiber fabric-reinforced plastic composites with a tensile force ratio of R=0.1 under (i) uniaxial and (ii) Mixed-Mode loading with constant compressive force was characterized, testing specimens with a hole-notch geometry. The energy release rate under uniaxial loading was determined using FE analysis. For uniaxial and biaxial loading, the evaluation was also carried out using a modified digital image correlation method. The results were compared with literature data.
