In order to detect the occurrence of failure in a material, visual observation is a very intuitive
approach. Although global failure is many times easier to observe visually, more dedicated …

Image Correlation for Shape, Motion and Deformation Measurements provides a
comprehensive overview of data extraction through image analysis. Readers will find and in …

The tensile behaviour of braid reinforcement is classically described by the behaviour of
composite elaborated from these reinforcements. Few studies concern the tensile behaviour …

Two continuum damage models with different underlying assumptions are investigated to
assess their predictive capabilities and limitations with respect to progressive intra-laminar …

The need for accurate material models to simulate the deformation, damage, and failure of
polymer matrix composites under impact conditions is becoming critical as these materials …

Single-ply weave-reinforced shape memory polymer composites (SpWR_SMPCs) are
promising materials for deployable space structures because they have high deformability …

Braiding is an advanced textile manufacturing method that is used to produce two-
dimensional and three-dimensional components. Unlike laminated structures, braids have …

This paper reports the damage mechanisms of 3-D carbon fiber/epoxy braided composite
under multiple impact compressions along out-plane direction. The multiple compression …

In this study, a combined forming-structural analysis of composite structures was performed.
Fiber orientation and shear angle changes of the composite materials during its thermo …

A new anisotropic damage model for rock is formulated and discussed. Flow rules are
derived with the energy release rate conjugate to damage, which is thermodynamically …
