This review is focused on the durability aspects of timber structures strengthened with fibre-
reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Although FRP composite enhances the strength and …

Due to their intrinsic electromechanical coupling behavior, piezoelectric materials are widely
used in sensors, actuators and other modern technologies. It is well known that piezoelectric …

Abstract The use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP) in the strengthening of timber
structures is quite recent and few studies have discussed the debonding between these …

In this work, a subinterface crack problem in piezoelectric bimaterials is analyzed by the
extended finite element method (XFEM). Associated with the level set method, the XFEM …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
to timber bonded interfaces. A series of tests on 86 single shear FRP-to-timber joints is …

Despite the large number of studies on externally bonded elements using FRP composites,
there is a significant knowledge gap to gain a comprehensive understanding of potential …

The performance of FRP composite bonded externally to timber is complex and to date,
limited attempts have been made to investigate the bond behaviour of FRP to timber …

An improved bimaterial adhesive joint model is proposed for the intralaminar and
interlaminar stress analysis of adhesively-bonded interfaces in plated beams with thin or …

An improved dynamic analysis of delaminated bi-layer beams is presented in this study with
considerations of transverse shear and delamination tip deformations as well as effects of …

An improved analytical model is presented to analyze the delamination buckling of a bi-layer
beam-column with a through-the-width delamination. Both the transverse shear deformation …
