Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used—and there is a
staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with improved …

Corrugated-form composites are expected to be very flexible in the corrugation direction and
stiff in the direction perpendicular to the corrugation. In this study, the corrugated composites …

While aramid fibers have been innovative for ballistic protection because of their high
energy absorption, minimal usage has been applied to continuous fiber reinforced polymer …

Textile composite is one of the important materials used in industry and is made from textile
substrates embedded in the matrices of different materials (see ref. 1). However, due to its …

The paper reviews the past and recent modeling techniques (both analytical and numerical)
