Durability Analysis of CFRP Adhesive Joints: A Study Based on Entropy Damage Modeling Using FEM

Researchers incorporated an entropy damage model into the finite element method to predict the fatigue durability of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) adhesive joints with varying adhesive layer thicknesses. Findings showed that damage variables peaked at a 0.3 mm adhesive thickness before declining, providing insight into stress behavior at the resin-composite interface under cyclic loading.
