This review paper summarizes the current state-of-art and challenges for the future
developments of fiber-reinforced composites for structural applications with multifunctional …

A bottom‐up, multiscale modeling approach is presented to carry out high‐fidelity virtual
mechanical tests of composite materials and structures. The strategy begins with the in situ …

Featured Application The tool of PDCA cycle, supported by other graphical tools, such as
Pareto charts and flowchart, can be applied in the manufacturing industry to delete or reduce …

Low-velocity impact damage can drastically reduce the residual strength of a composite
structure even when the damage is barely visible. The ability to computationally predict the …

Kenaf fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) laminated composites were prepared by
compression molding using the film-stacking method. The objective of this study was to …

The mechanical behavior of polymer–matrix composites unidirectionally reinforced with
carbon or glass fibers subjected to compression perpendicular to the fibers was studied …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are increasingly used in civil, naval,
aerospace, and wind energy applications, where they can be frequently exposed to harsh …

This paper presents a pressure-dependent three-dimensional constitutive law to predict
failure for laminated composites. The nonlinear constitutive response in shear and in the …

Progressive damage models based on continuum damage mechanics were used in
combination with cohesive interface elements to predict the structural response and the …

Three dimensional failure criteria for laminated fibre-reinforced composites, based on a
physical model for each failure mode and considering non-linear matrix shear behaviour are …
