Composite materials are used to produce multi-objective structures such as fluid reservoirs,
transmission pipes, heat exchangers, pressure vessels due to high strength and stiffness to …

During the last few decades, industries such as aerospace and wind energy (among others)
have been remarkably influenced by the introduction of high-performance composites. One …

The phase transition theory of shape memory polymers (SMPs) often involves a
phenomenological assumption that the reference configuration of the newly transformed …

In this paper, a multiscale modeling framework predicting the impact response of three-
dimensional angle-interlock woven composites (3DAWCs) is presented. Multiscale …

A novel 3D viscoelastic-viscoplastic and viscodamage constitutive model is proposed to
predict the viscous effects due to dynamic loading conditions of unidirectional carbon fibre …

An approach to predict intralaminar failure mechanisms in laminate fibre-reinforced
composites, at finite strains, is proposed. Transverse matrix cracking is described by a …

Abstract The certification of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structures in the aeronautical
and aerospace industries has traditionally been an expensive and time-consuming process …

Mesoscopic constitutive models employed to predict the mechanical response of fibre-
reinforced composites at the level of the unidirectional ply are typically formulated under the …

Conventional constitutive models employed to predict the mechanical response of
fibrereinforced composites at the mesoscopic level, ie at the level of the unidirectional ply …
