When a metal matrix composite (MMC) is cooled down from the fabrication or annealing temperature to room temperature, residual stresses are induced in the composite due to the mismatch of the thermal expansion coe cients of the matrix and reinforcement. A thermomechanical model describing these proc

The stress intensity factors which result when an axially cracked ring containing residual stresses is subjected to an external load have been calculated using a numerical method. When partial crack closure occurs, it has been taken into account. The computations show that residual stresses can caus
In this study the finite element method is used to analyse the effect of the thermal residual stresses resulting from adhesive curing on the performances of the bonded composite repair in aircraft structures. The stress-intensity factor at the crack tip is chosen as fracture criterion in order to es
