This literature review has examined the use of FRP composite materials as a potential
retrofitting technique for civil structures. Importantly, the various material properties, bond …

Numerous studies in the literature have shown that the strengthening of steel members
using carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites can significantly extend the …

The use of adhesively-bonded composite materials has lead to great advances in repairing
and strengthening cracked or aged metallic structures. However, less is known about the …

This paper presents a numerical study of the fatigue behaviour of carbon fibre-reinforced
polymer (CFRP) repaired steel plates with a surface crack under uniaxial cyclic tension. A …

Self-prestressing bonded patches employing iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA) and
carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) for lifetime extension of cracked steel structures are …

The crack growth retardation and the location of fatigue crack initiation from stop-hole edge
under different mode-mixities are examined in this paper by means of a developed fatigue …

An experimental and analytical study was conducted to further investigate the effectiveness
of the carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates in extending fatigue life of steel …

This paper investigated how the stop drilling procedure improved the crack initiation life and
the total fatigue life in specimens of 6061-T651 aluminium alloy and AISI 304 stainless steel …

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of a new stop-hole technique on the
subsequent delay in fatigue crack propagation. Single edge notch tension specimens of …

In this paper, the crack propagation behavior of a polymethyl methacrylate plate with double
holes under explosive load is investigated. The propagation process of the explosion crack …
