Advanced design methodologies enable lighter and more reliable composite structures or
components. However, efforts to include fatigue delamination in the simulation of …

High performance structures require the use of different materials to meet their demanding
requirements. Especially fibre reinforced polymer composites are nowadays often bonded to …

A recently optimized air plasma spray process has been used to deposit a model tri-layer Yb
2 SiO 5/Al 6 Si 2 O 13/Si environmental barrier coating (EBC) system on α-SiC substrates …

Partition of unity enrichment techniques are developed for bimaterial interface cracks. A
discontinuous function and the two‐dimensional near‐tip asymptotic displacement functions …

Measurements of the mixed mode fracture resistance of bimaterial interface have been
shown to be appreciably influenced by the presence of loading point friction and by residual …

The extended finite element method (X-FEM) proposed by Belytschko et al.(International
Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering 1999; 45: 602; 1999; 46: 131; 2001; 50: 993) …

The effect of transverse shear on delamination in layered, isotropic, linear-elastic materials
has been determined. In contrast to the effects of an axial load or a bending moment on the …

The objective of this paper is to develop a new mechanistic understanding of moisture
affected debonding failures in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plated concrete …

A previously developed linear elastic crack-tip element analysis is reviewed briefly, and then
extended and refined for practical applications. The element provides analytical expressions …

A singular stress field develops at the corner where an interface between two bonded
materials intersects a traction-free edge. Depending upon the geometry of the interface …
