This work reviews state of the art representative volume element (RVE) generation
techniques for heterogeneous materials. To this end, we present a systematic classification …

This review shows the potential of using the Representative Volume Element concept for the
multi-scale simulation of 3D woven high performance thermoset composites manufactured …

This paper proposes a robust design approach, based on eroded, intermediate and dilated
projections, to handle uniform manufacturing uncertainties in stress-constrained topology …

The present paper proposes an investigation of the failure events in a melt-infiltrated
SiC/SiC composite. In-situ X-ray microtomography tensile tests were performed at room …

The mechanical properties and damage behaviors of carbon/epoxy woven fabric composite
under in-plane tension and compression are studied at the meso-scale level through …

A fundamental understanding of structure-property relationship of carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) composites fabricated by selective laser sintering (SLS) is essential to …

Composite materials are used to produce multi-objective structures such as fluid reservoirs,
transmission pipes, heat exchangers, pressure vessels due to high strength and stiffness to …

Mesoscopic representative volume cells (RVCs), reflecting the internal structure of a 3-
Dimensional (3D) orthogonal weave composite, were reconstructed in this work from the X …

Generation of realistic finite element method (FEM) geometry of a textile composite material
at tow scale remains a challenging stage of material modeling. In this paper, a FE model …

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 …
