As a low-cost high-performance method for concrete structural reinforcement and repair, the
external bonding (EB) of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates has gradually become …

This work presents a survey of computational methods for adhesive contact focusing on
general continuum mechanical models for attractive interactions between solids that are …

Externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) represents a valid solution for strengthening and
retrofitting existing structures. Among possible reinforcements, fiber-reinforced composites …

In the first part of the paper, a critical review of the fundamental knowledge of the debonding
mechanism of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites from a quasi …

NURBS-based isogeometric analysis is applied to 3D frictionless large deformation contact
problems. The contact constraints are treated with a mortar-based approach combined with …

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the bond behavior and stress-transfer
mechanism of polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole (PBO) fiber-reinforced cementitious …

The development of new high-tech products often requires the optimization of structural
components having layer-based arrangements. The primary focus of the present study is the …

The cohesive zone model (CZM), which is capable of simulating the behavior of adhesively
bonded joints subjected to static and fatigue loading, is widely accepted. In this study …

This paper checks the consistency of some published exponential and bilinear mixed-mode
cohesive zone models. The effect of coupling on traction-separation behavior and energy …

Conductive hydrogels can be used to make electrodes that interface with biological tissues
due to their similar mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity in physiological …
