Synthetic fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have been widely used in
engineering fields, eg, civil, automotive, and aerospace industry, due to their high specific …

LVI has become a serious threat to the composite industry because it induces complex
failure mechanisms and internal damages which significantly reduce the structural …

This study explores how parametric uncertainties in the production affect failure tensile loads
of reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTPs) under combined loading conditions. The stress …

This review paper summarizes the current state-of-art and challenges for the future
developments of fiber-reinforced composites for structural applications with multifunctional …

The present paper aims at modeling complex fracture phenomena where different damaging
mechanisms are involved. For this purpose, the standard one-variable phase-field/gradient …

A methodology for predicting accurately the propagation of delamination under mixed-mode
fracture with cohesive elements is proposed. It is shown that changes in the local mode ratio …

A bottom‐up, multiscale modeling approach is presented to carry out high‐fidelity virtual
mechanical tests of composite materials and structures. The strategy begins with the in situ …

This paper presents finite element simulations of two standardized and sequential tests
performed in polymer–matrix composite laminates reinforced by unidirectional fibers: the …

With the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, the on-board hydrogen storage
technology with safety, efficiency and economy has become a fundamental part. Low cost …

This paper examines the use of a continuum damage model to predict strength and size
effects in notched carbon–epoxy laminates. The effects of size and the development of a …
