Hey Brucy-
I meant harmonics as in sinusoidal vibration (comes from rotating components, e.g. driveshafts in engines - so maybe bike wheels?) but i think impact loads would be dominant. Or perhaps fatigue. Anyway I was just rambling.
I'm studying structural engineering and one of my research interests is carbon/ glass reinforced polymer bonding. It's used for strengthening structures which are already built. I'm interested in the stresses in the adhesive layer betwen plates bonded together- this is not yet well understood and it's a fair bit simpler than repairing a bicycle frame!
