Fracture analysis of layered beams with an elastically coupled behavior and hygrothermal stresses : application to metal-to-composite adhesive joints

Fracture analysis of layered beams with an elastically coupled behavior and hygrothermal stresses : application to metal-to-composite adhesive joints / Panayiotis Tsokanas.

This book presents an analytical framework for calculating the fracture toughness of generally layered beam structures with an elastically coupled response and hygrothermal stresses. The beam under study features several peculiarities: it consists of multiple layers of dissimilar materials, features...
