Interfacial Failure in Flexible Pipe End Fittings: DIC and Cohesive Zone Modeling for Defect Analysis

Flexible pipe end fittings (EFs) transfer axial loads by embedding tensile armor within epoxy matrices. The integrity of bonding between the armor and resin profoundly influences the EF load-bearing capacity. This study investigated the debonding failure mechanism at the epoxy-resin–tensile-armor in...
