This paper discusses the question posed in the title and available options for the structural
analysis of metallic and composite structures concerning the choice of 1D, 2D, and 3D …

A data-rich framework is presented to consistently characterise the macroscopic strain-
softening response of laminated composites subjected to compressive loading. First, a …

Due to the stress concentration caused by the hole, failure of composite structures is prone
to start in the vicinity of the hole edge. Thereby, it is very necessary to investigate the failure …

Material extrusion additive manufacturing enables the rapid fabrication of complex structures
for a wide range of applications, including within the aerospace and healthcare sectors …

This research reported the influences of combined damage (delamination and crack) on the
layered structure numerically via finite element technique in a higher-order mathematical …

Torsional performance and damage progression inside the long and hollow axisymmetric
composite cylinders with different cutouts sizes are investigated via experimental and …

With the rise of data-driven engineering methods, such as machine learning, a
comprehensive understanding of the underlying data fed into these algorithms is required …
