Cyclic loading, characterised by repeated application and removal of stress, profoundly influences the strength, stiffness and damage evolution of rock. Under cyclic stress paths, rocks exhibit ...

The study investigates the cyclic bond behavior of FRP bars from four key parameters—bar diameter, embedment length, concrete strength, and rib geometry—leading to the development of a unified bond ...

It's a well-known characteristic of metals that repeated bending in the same place can cause the material to weaken and eventually break; this phenomenon, known as metal fatigue, can cause serious ...
