This work proposed a methodology to obtain the lamina and interface properties using minimal experimental works. Studies were limited to mode II delamination behavior of three quasi-isotropic quasi-homogeneous woven glass/polyester composites. It was found that the fracture toughness of 0//0, 0//45,...
