TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the stress analysis of a metal base plate stiffened by a fiber-reinforced composite layer and reduced the problem to a pair of integral equations of the second kind with Fredholm-type kernels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of partially debonded infinite stringer on the stress intensity at the crack tip and solved the integral equation, obtained from the continuity of displacements along the line where the stringer and the plate are bonded.

TL;DR: In this article, an infinite stringer partially bonded to a plate through a layer of adhesive is considered, and the effect of the stringer's bending rigidity on the stress intensity factor at the tip of the crack is illustrated.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of orthotropy on the stress intensity factors was investigated for stringers which are continuously attached to a cracked orthotropic sheet through an adhesive, and the stringers were assumed to be partially debonded due to high stress concentrations.
