This paper expands the studies on the fatigue behaviour of CFRP-sheet reinforced steel plates using the numerical method of boundary element analysis. The numerical software program BEASY was adopted in calculating stress intensity factors, crack propagation and fatigue lives. The composite patch and the cracked steel plate were simulated using surface elements, whereas the adhesive layer was simulated...
The use of adhesively-bonded composite materials has lead to great advances in repairing and strengthening cracked or aged metallic structures. However, less is known about the fatigue performance of the bonding between the composites and the metallic substrate, which is the deciding factor when designing the strengthening. In this study, a series of experiments is performed to investigate the effectiveness...
