Abstract: Cohesive zone models are being increasingly used to simulate fracture and debonding processes in metallic, polymeric, and ceramic materials and their composites. The crack initiation process as ...

Abstract: This study proposed a bond mechanism based deterioration model of bond interfacial fracture energy for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-concrete joints in moist environments. The bond interface region relative humidity (IRRH) ...

Abstract: Modeling the movement and distribution of moisture in the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites strengthened concrete structure is important because the interfacial adhesion between FRP and concrete is susceptible to ...

Abstract: Bimaterial systems in which two dissimilar materials are adhesively joined by a thin adhesive interlayer have been widely used in a variety of modern industries and engineering structures. It ...
