Process-induced deformation (PID) is unavoidable during thermosetting composite
manufacturing, and the PID may reduce the assembly accuracy and even cause a service …

The fibre–matrix interface represents a vital element in the development and
characterisation of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Extensive ranges of interfacial …

Due to the multiphase structure and anisotropy of ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), crack
propagation is extremely complex during grinding. However, there is no full comprehension …

Third-generation silicon carbide (SiC) composites reinforced by SiC fibers (Hi-Nicalon S
[HNS] and Tyranno SA3 [SA3]) are attractive for use in next generation reactors owing to …

A two-stage micromechanics technique is used to predict the elastic modulus, as well as the
major and minor Poisson's ratio of unidirectional natural fiber (NF) reinforced composites …

In this study, the influence of fiber particle size on the mechanical properties of a wood-–
plastic composite (WPC) was investigated using a combination of experimental …

A mode-I type of crack propagation and branching on account of fracture energy failure
mechanisms methodology is investigated in unidirectional (UD) fiber reinforced epoxy sheet …

To characterize the fiber–matrix interface of a glass-fiber reinforced sheet molding
compound (SMC), single-fiber push-out tests are performed and simulated numerically. The …

In this work, the microstructure of the interfacial zone was optimized to improve the
mechanical properties of SiC f/Si 3 N 4 composite, and the relationship between micro-zone …

In this work, a novel high-throughput methodology based on combinations of
nanoindentation, indentation creep and push-in methods, is proposed to measure in-situ the …
