In recent years, owing to the long-span adverse impact of utilizing petrochemicals and
economic crises, wind energy has stood-up as a cost-effective source of energy. It endorsed …

An improved finite-element (FE) modeling scheme of misaligned noncircular fibers of a
unidirectional composite is proposed with the aid of micro-computed tomography (μCT). The …

A computationally efficient method for generating virtual periodic representative volume
element (RVE), capable of handling arbitrary inclusion shapes, is developed. A universal …

This study aims to investigate the effects of fiber cross-sectional shape on the trans-verse
crack extension of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) both experimentally and …

To analyze the effects of void on transverse tensile properties of composites considering
thermal residual stress (TRS), finite element models with different distribution patterns and …

We study the impact of size and spatial arrangement of resin-rich zones on the failure
response of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) subject to loadings applied in the …

nanocomposite inks, consisting of a plant oil-based biopolymer resin (soybean oil …

A three-dimensional repeating unit cell (3D-RUC) framework is used to analyze the effect of
competing damage mechanisms—fiber failure, matrix plasticity/cracking, and fiber-matrix …

A new microstructure reconstruction algorithm, fully integrated with a non-iterative meshing
algorithm named CISAMR, is introduced for synthesizing finite element (FE) models of …

There is a burgeoning interest in the development of geopolymers as sustainable
