Recently published research indicated that, in additive manufacturing fields, single fiber
reinforcements often increased some mechanical properties of composites, but at the same …

Surface defects like porosity, cracks, coarse grains, surface roughness, etc. have a huge
impact on the strength and performance of materials. Due to this, surface treatments have …

This paper numerically investigated the effects of manufacturing defects and braiding angle
on the impact compressive properties of three-dimensional (3D) carbon fiber/epoxy resin …

In this paper, a constitutive material model is proposed to model the nonlinear mechanical
response of timber, as elastoplastic orthotropic material under three-dimensional (3D) stress …

The lack of strengthening mechanisms in the through-thickness direction of two-dimensional
(2D) laminated composites often results in the incubation and initiation of distinct damage …

A novel Ag–Cr active braze is presented to successfully braze carbon/carbon (C/C)
composites to a Ni-based single crystal alloy (DD3). The microstructural characteristics and …

Using digital material twins reveals the fabric architectures of woven composites and details
the morphological features of fiber tows and defects, which makes a unique approach to …

Pore defects tend to form in the manufacturing process, and significantly influence the
mechanical properties of 3D braided composites. To predict the failure modes and strength …

Woven composites possess multiple inherent uncertainty sources, which leads to the
stochasticity of macroscopic mechanical properties. In this work, a multiscale approach is …

The construction and examination of meso-structural finite element models of a Chemical-
Vapor-Infiltrated (CVI) C/SiC composite is carried out based on X-ray microtomography …
