Feng, W. (author), Pavlovic, M. (author), Koetsier, M. (author), Veljkovic, M. (author)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. Friction at the interface behind the crack tip may deviate fatigue debonding of the joints from the linear-fracture-mechanics behaviour. This paper presents static and...journal article 2023

Christoforidou, A. (author), Verleg, R.L. (author), Pavlovic, M. (author)Resins are essential structural materials predominantly used in load-bearing connections such as adhesively bonded joints and resin-injected bolted connections. In an effort to improve the latter, a new injection material, Steel Reinforced Resin (SRR), has been developed, consisting of spherical steel particles embedded in a resin. SRR's...journal article 2023
