In this paper, the validity of some formulations allowing the determination of the fracture energy of PAN/phenolic-based carbon/carbon composites has been verified. The G IIC is chosen as fracture characterizing parameter which is experimentally determined by considering a multiplying form that is numerically evaluated using a finite element method. The numerical results are compared to the experimental data, and a good agreement has been observed. The specimen geometry was used to determine the mode II delamination fracture energy.
