Continuing interest and more developments in recent years indicated that it would be useful
to update Banea and da Silva paper entitled “Adhesively bonded joints in composite …

Fatigue delamination growth (FDG) rate was investigated in composite laminates with
aluminium and carbon/glass fibers. An End Notch Flexure test was used to determine …

In the present paper, the mode I and II fatigue fracture performance of a novel
Titanium/CFRP adhesive joint is investigated. The adhesive joint under study is composed …

Abstract Models for simulating interlaminar crack growth in composites under static and
fatigue loads are rarely validated with experimental data different from simple standard tests …

Crack growth rate curves provide information about the delamination resistance of
composite materials under cyclic loading. The existing methodologies for mode II fatigue …

A cyclic cohesive zone model is developed which is capable of predicting fatigue driven
delamination under thermo–mechanical loading conditions. The model is an extension of an …

When investigating the fracture behaviour of adhesive joints, accurate crack tip localization
under mode II loading is particularly challenging due to the absence of crack opening. The …

The challenges and issues that arise in the fatigue crack growth characterization of
dissimilar joints due to multiple crack formation, suitable compliance and strain energy …

This article presents an investigation of interlaminar fatigue crack growth in unidirectional
(AS4/914) composites. Influence of fibre bridging on Mode-I interfacial fatigue properties is …

A new automated digital image‐based method for tracking both the position and shape of
the crack front of delaminations in translucent glass fibre‐laminated test specimens is …
