Z-pinned laminates and sandwich materials are an important class of composites with
current applications in aircraft and emerging uses in other light-weight engineered products …

It has been confirmed in several other studies is that the effect of yarn geometry variations on
composite properties is non-negligible. This work presented a parameterized and …

This paper proposes a novel micromechanical model to study the curing effects on the in-
plane tensile properties and failure mechanisms of carbon/epoxy laminates reinforced with z …

This contribution presents an approach to generate unit-cell models of 3D orthogonal woven
non-crimp fabric composites with the ability to incorporate cross-section variations in the weft …

Herein, state‐of‐the‐art multiscale modeling methods have been described. This research
includes notable molecular, micro‐, meso‐, and macroscale models for hard (polymer …

Z-pinning is an effective method to increase the delamination resistance of composite
laminate. To optimize the design of z-pinned reinforced composite material, the paper …

In this paper, a plug-in–FibrePlug–developed within the ABAQUS TM Simple GUI (RSG) and
Fox GUI development environments is introduced. In contrast to traditional meso-scale …

Most of the unit cell models for Z-pinned composite laminates (ZCL) are mesoscopic in
scale, where the fiber reinforced zone is modeled as homogeneous but without detailed …

Z-pinning is an effective method to improve the delamination resistance of composite
laminates. The microstructure and manufacturing parameters have a great influence on the …

This contribution presents an approach to generate unit-cell models of structural stitched
non-crimp fabric composites. Resin-rich regions and out-of-plane undulations caused by the …
