Adhesive bonding is widely seen as the most optimal method for joining composite
materials, bringing significant benefits over mechanical joining, such as lower weight and …

Adhesive joints are being increasingly used in various industries, including the automotive
or the wind turbines industries. Such increasing interest is a direct result of its high structural …

The paper analyzes the stability and failure phenomenon of compressed thin-walled
composite columns. Thin-walled columns (top-hat and channel section columns) were made …

Adhesive bonding is a constantly develo** technique, and the volume of its industrial
applications is rapidly increasing, which, in turn, requires improving the compatibility and …

A modified cyclic cohesive zone model (CCZM) is developed for low-cycle fatigue crack
initiation prediction for subsea pipelines. The traction and separation law in the model is …

Adhesive bonding of composite laminates to metals is an increasingly employed technique
to manufacture lightweight structures. However, this type of joints is sensitive to defects and …

Discrete element (DE) model has a great feasibility in modelling the microstructural
behaviours of adhesive composite joints. However, it demands a sophisticated calibration …

Fatigue delamination damage is one of the most important fatigue failure modes for
laminated composite structures. However, there are still many challenging problems in the …

In real applications, adhesive joints are commonly subjected to fatigue and mixed mode
loading conditions. The aim of the current work is to experimentally analyse the influence of …

Thermoplastic composites are continuously replacing thermosetting composites in
lightweight structures. However, the accomplished work on the fatigue behavior of …
