Carbon fibre/Benzoxazine laminates with and without non-woven polyamide (PA) fibre veils
at the interlaminar regions were manufactured using vacuum assisted resin transfer …

In this study, the effects of notch length and pre-crack size on mode II fracture energy of
brittle adhesives are investigated. These effects are not considered by the direct beam …

A new interface constitutive model based on damage mechanics and frictional plasticity is
presented. The model is thermodynamically consistent, it is able to accurately reproduce …

A novel thermodynamically consistent cohesive-frictional model for the analysis of interface
degradation and failure under either monotonic quasi-static loading or cyclic loading in low …

In this paper, we propose an approach to the design of a magnetostrictive electric power
generator for energy harvesting from traffic, and we validate it experimentally. We use the …

Accurate determination of the interlaminar mode II fracture toughness is much more difficult
than that of mode I delamination, due to friction and crack closure. In this paper, A-scan is …

The present paper proposes a new interface constitutive model based on the non-
associative damage mechanics and frictional plasticity. The model is developed in a …

Debonding crack propagation at the composite-to-steel interface has been found to be an
important failure mechanism for wrapped composite joints under static and fatigue loads …

FEM analyses based on cohesive zone models are a well-assessed methodology to predict
onset and propagation of delamination in composites. In this work, a specific modelling …

This paper originally proposes a nonlinear cohesive/frictional contact coupled model for the
mode-II shear delamination of adhesive composite joint based on a modified Xu and …
