Infinitesimal debond length

In light of the foregoing discussion concerning the functional partitioning of the partial debond stress, the characteristic debond stresses can be evaluated. The initial debond stress, ao, is obtained for an infinitesimal debond length where the frictional stress component is zero, i.e.,... 

Similarly, the initial debond stress, oq, is obtained for the infinitesimal debond length, the maximum debond stress, debond length becomes = L - Zmax and the post-debond initial friction pull-out stress, [Pg.153]
