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

This paper presents a comparative study of finite element method (FEM) and analytical
method for the plane problem of a layered composite containing an internal perpendicular …

In the problem of a crack lying in the interface between two dissimilar materials, the
mathematical expressions for the stress and displacement fields, derived from linear elastic …

Under the influence of the nonlinear fluid-solid coupling, hydraulic fracture exhibits various
propagation modes (such as toughness-or viscosity-dominated), which stem from the …

The paper introduces a mechanical model of the asymmetric double cantilever beam
(ADCB) test, usable to assess the mixed-mode interlaminar fracture toughness of composite …

A method is presented for the analysis of laminated beams with general stacking sequences
and arbitrarily located, through-the-width delaminations. First, the relative displacements …

A novel three-parameter, elastic foundation model is proposed in this study to analyze
interface stresses of adhesively bonded joints. The classical two-parameter, elastic …

Although many field investigations into pipe-jacking installation have been reported within
the literature, there are few reports on the rebar stress in jacking pipes. This paper presents …

Elastic clam** boundary conditions are derived, which describe root rotations and root
displacements in plate models used to analyze detaching bimaterial layers subjected to …

Adhesively bonded joints with functionally graded (FG) adherends are of practical
significance since tailoring material composition through the adherend thickness can lead to …
