Stiffness degradation was used as the primary damage assessment criterion. To further refine this approach, researchers established a multilevel damage and performance assessment method for hybrid ...

A failure criterion was considered to be a 20% stiffness reduction of flexural fatigue test. Also, the stiffness reduction zones in the history of fatigue specimen were investigated.

In flexural behavior, stiffness characterisation entails methodically assessing a material’s rigidity and deformation response to applied stresses [22]. Standardized specimens are prepared, an exact ...
