The end debonding is clear because the interfacial shear stress reaches its maximum at the ends first and the adhesive slides as a result (See picture below).
For the material properties, I am using a cohesive zone model (CZM) to simulate the behavior of the adhesive. I am modelling both...
Hello,
I am modelling the behavior of square hollow steel columns strengthened with CFRP plates in ANSYS Workbench. The CFRP plates are applied on opposite sides of the column to delay the occurrence of overall buckling. I have attached a picture of the cross section to explain the placement of...
I am simulating the debonding of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates attached to steel columns in ANSYS Workbench. In order to model the adhesive, I have used a cohesive zone model and manually input the traction-separation values (see attached picture). The problem is when I review...

Hello,
My first post on this forum so my apologies if the format is not as required.
I am modelling a number of hollow steel section (HSS) columns in ANSYS Workbench. The columns are in a pinned-pinned configuration and I intend on carrying out non-linear buckling analyses. The only problem I...
