The application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is gaining increasing
popularity in impact-resistant devices, automotives, biomedical devices and aircraft …

Efficient deployment of composites necessitates robust modelling approaches for
homogenization and micromechanics calculations. Mean field homogenization (MFH) …

Damage mechanisms of injection molded polyamide-66/short glass fiber 30 wt% composite
(PA66/GF30) were analyzed using in situ SEM mechanical tests on specimens conditioned …

The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanical behaviour and to provide a
complete set of static and fatigue loading data on thermoplastic composites based on flax …

In this contribution, a probabilistic micromechanics damage framework is presented to
predict the macroscopic stress–strain response and progressive damage in unidirectional …

This study investigates the origin of the strain rate effect on the mechanical behavior of a
discontinuous glass fiber reinforced ethylene–propylene copolymer (EPC) matrix composite …

This paper presents a new model and an experimental investigation of the elastic–plastic
flow until failure in short-fiber reinforced thermoplastics typically produced by injection …

This paper presents a new micromechanical damage model, called “First Pseudo-Grain
Damage”(FPGD) model, to predict the overall elasto-plastic behavior and damage evolution …

The current work deals with periodic thermomechanical composite media, in which the
material constituents are considered to obey the generalized standard materials laws. The …

Sheet molding compounds (SMC) are fiber‐reinforced thermosetting semifinished products.
They are produced in thin uncured and thickened sheets that can be handled easily before …
