Unfortunately, fibrous composite materials' mixed-mode fracture toughness (K eff) was
measured using inappropriate through-thickness cracked (TTC) specimens. The problem …

Debonding, as a mode of failure, is one of the major limitations when using externally
bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates in strengthening of steel beams. In …

Bonding a composite patch to a cracked steel section is an efficient technique to reinforce
cracked members or to delay fatigue crack growth in the structural elements. In this paper, a …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to estimate the number of cycles for fatigue crack
initiation in notched plates. Design/methodology/approach–Previously published …

Fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of Mode I single edge crack in mild steel specimens
was experimentally investigated due to variable fatigue loading of different patterns …

Mode I fatigue crack growth behaviour was experimentally investigated under constant and
following the application of a single spike overload. Different specimen thicknesses were …
