An explicit finite element (FE) model combined with the cohesive zone modeling (CZM) method, an analytical stress analysis model, and a spall fracture model have been developed. The numerical model has been calibrated and validated against tests in terms of the stripping pattern, while the analytical models have been compared with the numerical model. The models were combined to generate computational tools for decreasing computational effort. The FE model with the CZM is the most accurate tool although it is the most computationally expensive. The spall fracture model gives trusted estimations of the spall strength of the interface which are very sensitive to the interface thickness and when incorporated into a continuum FE-based damage model can predict the stripping initiation faster than the FE model with the CZM. The analytical stress analysis model can be used to efficiently describe the shock wave propagation into the material system, but it can give only a rough estimation of the tensile stress at the epoxy, which when combined with the spall strength does not give reliable predictions of the stripping initiation. The three models require as input different material properties, some of which are very difficult to determine. Nevertheless, the availability of accurate material parameters and properties of the aluminum, the epoxy, and, especially, their interface can significantly improve the efficiency of the developed models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15103423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]],"date-time":"2022-05-10T08:31:55Z","timestamp":1652171515000},"page":"3423","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Analytical and Numerical Modeling of Stress Field and Fracture in Aluminum\/Epoxy Interface Subjected to Laser Shock Wave: Application to Paint Stripping"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9352-6575","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kosmas","family":"Papadopoulos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Technology & Strength of Materials, Department of Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics, University of Patras, 26500 Patras, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9859-0050","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Tserpes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Technology & Strength of Materials, Department of Mechanical Engineering & Aeronautics, University of Patras, 26500 Patras, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Le Bras, C., Rondepierre, A., Seddik, R., Scius-Bertrand, M., Rouchausse, Y., Videau, L., Fayolle, B., Gervais, M., Morin, L., and Valadon, S.
