Digital image and volume correlation (DIC and DVC) are increasingly being used to
measure the deformation and damage behaviour of composite materials. The …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites play a vital role in the production of structural
and semi-structural components for engineering applications. The drilling process is a …

A multiscale progressive damage modelling methodology for 3-dimensional (3D) woven
composites is presented. The proposed methodology is generic and can be implemented in …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) woven composites have found extensive applications in
various areas, owing to the high resistance of impact and delamination, great design ability …

Three different architectures of 3D carbon fibre woven composites (orthogonal, ORT; layer-to-
layer, LTL; angle interlock, AI) were tested in quasi-static uniaxial tension. Mechanical tests …

A three-dimensional progressive damage model has been developed to capture the onset
and initial propagation of damage within a three-dimensional woven composite in a single …

In this work, a hierarchical multiscale analysis method was used for 3D woven composite
leaf spring landing gear. The structural finite element models at micro, meso and macro …

Thanks to their superior performance including greater cohesion, good mechanical and
delamination behaviors, and excellent formability properties, 3D warp interlock woven …

Three dimensional (3D) woven composites have attracted the interest of academia and
industry thanks to their damage tolerance characteristics and automated fabric …

This work presents a comprehensive investigation of the elastic and fracture behavior of ply-
to-ply angle interlock three-dimensional woven composites. The research investigated novel …
