Composite Patch Configuration and Prestraining Effect on Crack Tip Deformation and Plastic Zone for Inclined Cracks
Abstract
Bonding a composite patch to a cracked steel section is an efficient technique to reinforce cracked members or to delay fatigue crack growth in the structural elements. In this paper, a numerical study was performed to highlight the effect of bonded prestressed composite patches on the fracture parameters, such as crack tip opening displacement and the plastic zone. A three-dimensional finite element model of the double sided strengthened...
