Exploring the bonding mechanisms within bimetallic composite plates throughout the cold
rolling process poses a considerable challenge, especially in simulating the bonding …

A geometric size effect is evident in fatigue loading with a scaled cracked component of the
same material appearing stronger in the sense of increased fatigue resistance. The number …

The present research sheds light on a first viscoelastic-viscoplastic damage model with a
cohesive zone in between, implemented in finite element method. The viscoelastic layer …

Scaled experimentation is a powerful engineering tool yet its application to fatigue is limited
by significant changes in behaviour with scale. The recent discovery of new similitude rules …

Quasi-brittle materials such as composite laminates, concrete, and toughened ceramics are
subject to size effects in which the nominal strength decreases with increasing specimen …

Currently, available conventional scaling methodologies are suffering from many
deficiencies, which the most important ones can be listed as:(i) the inability to systematically …

A high percentage of all structure or products failures can be attributed to fatigue and
fracture. In analysing the behaviour of cracked components, the existence of size effects …
