A review of the investigations that have been made on adhesively bonded joints of fibre-
reinforced plastic (FRP) composite structures (single skin and sandwich construction) is …

Fiber reinforced composites are quickly replacing their metal counterparts in the structural
applications due to their higher specific strength and stiffness. The fiber bridging increases …

Through evolutionary processes, biological composites have been optimized to fulfil specific
functions. This optimization is exemplified in the mineralized dactyl club of the smashing …

This study investigates the interlaminar shear behavior of 3D printed CFRP composites
fabricated by fused deposition modeling (FDM) through a combined experimental and …

The analysis of adhesively bonded joints started in 1938 with the closed-form model of
Volkersen. The equilibrium equation of a single lap joint led to a simple governing …

This study examines the inter-layer and cross-layer fracture behavior of 3D printed short
CFRP composites using both experimental and numerical methods. First, the orthotropic …

The discrete cohesive zone model (DCZM) is implemented using the finite element (FE)
method to simulate fracture initiation and subsequent growth when material non-linear …

Delamination between a coating and a substrate is often an undesired phenomenon, for
which predictive numerical schemes are required. The interface between the coating and …

Interphase regions that form in heterogeneous materials through various underlying
mechanisms such as poor mechanical or chemical adherence, roughness, and coating, play …

This work addresses both experimental and numerical analyses regarding the tensile
behaviour of CFRP single-strap repairs. Two fundamental geometrical parameters were …
