A multiscale modeling framework including microscale, mesoscale and macroscale models,
is developed to investigate the low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression after impact (CAI) …

Time-consuming and costly computational analysis expresses the need for new methods for
generalizing multiscale analysis of composite materials. Combining neural networks and …

Initial fibre misalignment is recognised to be one of the precursors leading to longitudinal
compressive failure in fibre-reinforced composites. Thus, to properly model their mechanical …

The architectural intricacy of multi-ply woven composites, caused by differences in layer
alignment, introduces complexity into their mesoscale response to on-and off-axis tensile …

A three-dimensional micromechanics framework is developed to estimate the mode I
through-thickness intralaminar crack resistance curve of unidirectional carbon fibre …

Austenitic stainless steel is useful for storing and transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) at
temperatures below− 163° C due to its superior low-temperature applications. This study …

A full understanding of the non-linear mechanical response of the polymer is essential for
fibre-reinforced polymer composite design because an explicit definition of constitutive …

In this paper, both novel designable strategy and mechanical properties of 3D printed
continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic fabric composites (CFRTPFCs) are studied. The …

A novel finite element modelling approach is presented which incorporates representative
binder yarn compaction, for simulating the low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression after …

The inherent brittleness of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites represents a major
complication in their broad practical applications. However, exploiting different …
