FRP-to-concrete interfaces between two adjacent cracks: Theoretical model for debonding failure (2006, background): “…RC beams bonded with a tension face plate, debonding is also likely at the plate ends where debonding is due to a combination of high shear stresses and high normal stresses (Smith and Teng, 2001, 2002a,b, 2003; Shen et al., 2001; Yang et al., 2003; Pesic and Pilakoutas, 2003; Teng et al., 2002b).”
On the finite element modelling of RC beams shear-strengthened with FRP (2012, background): “[39-41]), but overcoming computational difficulties associated with topology changes due to re-meshing remains a challenge [38].”
Concrete Damage Plasticity Model for Modeling FRP-to-Concrete Bond Behavior (2015, background): “In the former, a crack is treated as a geometrical identity so it is either pre-embedded in the FE mesh (Yang et al. 2009) or through continuous re-meshing (Yang et al., 2003; Yang and Chen 2005).”
Experimental and nonlinear finite element studies of RC beams strengthened with FRP plates (2007, background): “[20] presented a discrete crack finite element model based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) capable of tracing the end debonding failure mode.”
