Modelling of 3D Fatigue Crack Growth in Tubular Joints: An Automated Framework for CFRP‐Strengthened T‐Joints Under Out‐of‐Plane Bending
This study presents an automated computational framework for simulating three‐dimensional (3D) fatigue crack growth and adhesive delamination in carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP)‐strengthened steel tubular T‐joints. The model integrates continuum damage mechanics with the extended finite element method (CDM‐XFEM...
