The sudden compressive failure of unidirectional (UD) fibre reinforced composites at loads
well below their tensile strengths is a cause of practical concern. In this respect and more …

Short glass fibre injection moulded composites, used in interior and exterior automotive
parts, are exposed to complex stress states, for example during a crash. As the fibre scale …

From a modelling standpoint, the morphology of additively manufactured (AM) high-
performance short fiber reinforced polymer (SFRP) is essential to characterize, yet this task …

Micro-computed tomography (µCT) is a valuable tool for visualizing microstructures and
damage in fiber-reinforced composites. However, the large sets of data generated by µCT …

This study proposes a new algorithm for three-dimensional segmentation of fibers in multi-
