New closed-form analytical expressions of the energy release rate of a bimaterial cracked
specimen are derived, when it experiences pure mode I in an asymmetric double cantilever …

This paper presents a multiscale analytical model that predicts the lifetime of concrete
members with externally bonded FRP reinforcement. The lifetime is dictated by the …

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 …

The Kirchhoff and Mindlin plate theories are applied in this study to calculate the stresses
and the energy release rates in delaminated orthotropic composite plates. A novel double …

The research described in this paper relates to flexural concrete members strengthened by
means of external reinforcement bonded adhesively onto the surface, in particular, by fiber …

New closed-form, analytical solutions are derived for the strain energy release rate (SERR)
and mode partitioning of uneven bending moments-loaded tests on layered beams with …

Bone fractures are significant health concerns, particularly for the elderly population with
osteoporosis. Prediction of the risk of fracture and its prevention can help in reducing 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 paper investigates the problem of the mechanical behavior of an interfacially cracked
layered beam with possible bending-extension coupling (BEC) and residual hygrothermal …

The onset and growth of interlaminar cracks (delamination) were experimentally studied in
an IM7/MTM45 carbon-epoxy composite material under mixed mode I/II dynamic loading …
