Recent developments in the aircraft industry towards substantially improving fuel economy
and extending flight range have accelerated interest in the use of advanced composites as …

The geometrical form and the manufacturing technique make the trailing edge of the wind
turbine blade more susceptible to damage. In this study the trailing edge in a number of 81 …

In this paper, fatigue progressive damage of fibre-reinforced composite is modelled by the
present fatigue model, in which the fatigue damage incorporates two parts of the …

A new geometric model is reported for fiber-bar composites reinforced by three-dimensional
weaving (FBCR3DW) having 0/90, 45/135 and 0/90/45/135 weavings. An anisotropic …

This article reports an experimental investigation of the effects of the loading frequency on
the temperature change, fatigue behaviour, and failure mechanisms of carbon-fibre-fabric …

This paper is concerned with the understanding of the relationship between fatigue
resistance and environmental conditioning by the fractographic analysis of the fracture …

A micromechanics-based constituent progressive damage model was proposed in this study
to predict macroscopic failure behavior of composite laminates under multi-axial mechanical …

Interlaminar fracture or delamination is one of the major failure modes for fiber reinforced
polymer (FRP) laminate. Especially, the synergistic effect of environmental exposure and …

An approach to the modeling of progressive failure that shows adequate results and can be
used in practice to validate the strength of a composite structure is presented. The approach …

Degradation of the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites
(PMCs) subjected to cyclic loading is crucial to the long-term load-carrying capability of PMC …
