The cohesive element (CE) has been widely used to model delamination in laminated
composites. The penalty stiffness, interfacial strength and fracture toughness are three CE …

The cohesive zone model approach in conjunction with a damage formulation, has been
used by many authors to simulate delamination using finite element codes. However, some …

In the scope of developing a bonded iron-based shape memory alloy (Fe-SMA)
strengthening solution, nonlinear deformation in the adherends upon joint failure due to …

Thermoplastic composites can enable the development of new manufacturing techniques to
make the aviation industry more sustainable while at the same time greatly benefit cost …

An experimental investigation is presented into the enhancement of interfacial toughness
properties of hybrid titanium-to-composite structural joints using 3D printed metal pins …

Abstract Cohesive Zone Models (CZMs) have been increasingly used for the fracture
prediction of adhesively bonded joints. In order to better understand the relation between the …

Cohesive zone model (CZM) is a widely used tool for simulating both static and fatigue
damage propagation for bonded area in composite materials. Under static loading, the …

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 study presents a novel method to determine the mode II cohesive law of unidirectional
carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates, employing the End Notched Flexure (ENF) test …
